86 WINTER STORIES AND POEMS 



arrows across her shoulder, she hunted the wild 

 deer and the fierce bear. 



When she went to the chase with her com- 

 panions, she was the merriest of the party. 



One day as she was going gayly through the 

 forest, she met the jealous Juno, who hated 

 her. 



Juno stood still, raised her hand, and said 

 some strange words. 



Then a terrible thing happened to poor Cal- 

 listo. 



Her arms grew shaggy, and were covered 

 with hair. 



Her nails grew into pointed claws. 



Her hands turned to paws and she had to 

 stand on all fours. 



Her beautiful mouth that was always smil- 

 ing wore an ugly grin. 



Her sweet voice was changed to the fierce 

 growl of a hungry bear. 



Poor Callisto ! 



Now she runs from her own dogs in terror. 



But she runs from the bears, too ; for she for- 

 gets that she is herself a bear. 



More than all does she grieve for her dear 

 little son Areas.
