Page 6 ' I .Y . me g A Tantalizing Tale How many of you know where We get our word tantalize? It came from the name of a man. He was the son of a very great king and had every- thing he wanted, but he was not satisfied. One day he did a very mean cruel deed. Lo you think his just father let that deed go unnoticed? No,not for an instant. The doer of the wicked deed was placed undera sf- vere punishment. But what was the punishment? The king and some of his officers met and discussed the subject. A plan was finally decided u :on and carried out. The cruel sm was placed in a lake in which he stood with the water up to his chin, andabove his head was plac- ed the most delicious fruit you have ever seen. Now you might think that was not a punishment but wait! What happened when the son tried to quench his thirst? Thewater receeded until he could not get a sip of it. And what happened when he streched up his arm to grasp the fruit? It also receed- ed out of -reach. How tantalizing! Now, I suppose,you know the poor fellovv's name. It was Tantalus and his father was Zeus.
