THE FROG IN THE MOON
HE next morning Antonio said: "I'm going to ask Klayukat about the moon and cheese. Perhaps he can tell us the truth. Come; let 's go now."
They found Klayukat repairing a saddle. "Is the moon made of green cheese?" he repeated slowly. "I never heard it. I never heard of cheese in my country. You white people have many things that my tribe know nothing about. You do not see the same as we do, either."
"Don't see as you do? Why, we see with our eyes, just as you do"; and Antonio's big black eyes opened wide.
"Yes, you see with your eyes, but things do not look the same to you as they do to us. Now I have heard the white people say that there is a man in the moon, while I can see, as plainly as I see this saddle here, that there is a frog in the moon."
