Then, almost grown man as I was, my heart began to beat wildly, I panted for breath, and I felt my eyes straining at my find. For there, in a little cavity carefully made beneath the stone, lay the Flat Oblong Box.

There is only one book whose tales surpass these north ern stories in teaching the lesson of manly self — dependence, and that book is the Bible.
