AUTUMN STORIES AND POEMS 



By and by two babies were born. The boy 

 was called Apollo, and his twin sister was 

 named Diana. 



The two children grew very fast. 



Apollo was soon a tall and handsome young 

 man. 



His face was as bright as the sun. 



His father, Jupiter, was proud of him. He 

 gave him a golden chariot and a pair of swans. 

 These would carry him over land and sea, 

 wherever he wanted to go. 



He also gave him a silver bow, with sharp, 

 bright arrows.
