"It's a thread of silver so thin that it can't be seen and yet it is so strong that it can easily bear your weight." "But I can't climb all the way down," said Kernel Cob. "You won't have to," said Edelweiss. "All you have to do is to catch hold of the end of the silver thread and hang on to it, and, as Silverfloss weaves the thread it gets longer and longer, until you have reached the Earth.
"Well if they are not here," said Kernel Cob, "we had better go before we freeze to death," and his teeth chattered. "How'll we get off?" asked Sweetclover. "I'll tell Silverfloss to weave you a strand of silver," and he turned to Silverfloss and said some tinkling words to her. "She's doing it," he said.
And when they were seated, Sweetclover saw some flowers on the banquet table which were very beautiful, white with silver calyx, and they were called Silverfloss, and Sweetclover whispered to Silverfloss: "Do you understand Earth talk?" "Ting-a-ling," answered Silverfloss, and it sounded like the tinkling of a little silver bell. "What did she say?" asked Kernel Cob.
"I would be glad to look," said Edelweiss, for he was a very polite little flower and had very pretty manners. And turning to Silverfloss he asked her if she had seen two earth-people on the Moon. "Ting-a-ling," answered Silverfloss and you would have thought it was two bells tinkling. "She says there never was a human being on the Moon," said Edelweiss.
