Now Jurgen wondered to see what a simple old creature was this Mother Sereda, who sat before him shaking and grinning and frail as a dead leaf, with her head wrapped in a common kitchen-towel, and whose power was so enormous. "To think of it," Jurgen reflected, "that the world I inhabit is ordered by beings who are not one-tenth so clever as I am!
"I did not find it at all praiseworthy that such an insignificant Leshy as Pandelis should name her day after the Moon: to me it seemed blasphemy." Then Jurgen coughed, and looked sidewise at his shadow. "Had it been Sereda, now, the case would have been different, and the Moon might well have appreciated the delicate compliment." Anaitis appeared relieved. "I shall report your explanation.
We have mobilized all the agricultural experts in the country. We are issuing a mass of simply written pamphlets explaining better methods of farming." I told Sereda I had heard that the peasants were refusing to sow more than they wanted for their own needs.
But you report nothing of my sister Pandelis who controls the day of the Moon." "Monday!" says Jurgen: "yes, I neglected Monday, perhaps because she is the oldest of you, but in part because of the exigencies of my rhyme scheme. We must let Pandelis go unhymned. How can I remember everything when I consider the might of Sereda?"

Aderes has loosed a new jest into the world, for her own reasons " "But you have things backwards. It was Sereda whom I cajoled so nicely." "Names that are given by men amount to very little in a case like this.
