Answer:
Seen from a distance, hilltops and huge rocks seem to
assume various shapes. They may resemble an animal
or a human figure. People attribute stories to these
shapes. Some stories come true; others don’t.
The Great Stone Face is one such shape that reminds
the inhabitants of the valley of a prophecy. What was
it? Did it come true?
One afternoon, when the sun was going down, a mother
and her little boy sat at the door of their cottage, talking
about the Great Stone Face. They had only to lift their
eyes and there it was, plain to be seen, though miles
away, with the sunshine brightening all its features.
And what was the Great Stone Face?
The Great Stone Face was a work of nature, formed on
the perpendicular side of a mountain by some immense
rocks, which had been thrown together so that, when
viewed at a proper distance, they resembled the features
of a human face. If the spectator approached too near, he
lost the outline of the enormous face and could see only a
heap of gigantic rocks, piled one upon another. But seen
from a distance, the clouds clustering about it, the Great
Stone Face seemed positively to be alive. It was the belief
of many people that the valley owed much of its fertility to
the benign face that was continually beaming over it.
A mother and her little boy, as we said earlier, sat at
the door of their cottage, gazing at the Great Stone Face
and talking about it. The child’s name was Ernest.
“Mother,” said he, while the Great Face smiled on
him, “I wish that it could speak, for it looks so very
kindly that its voice must indeed be pleasant. If I
ever see a man with such a face, I should love him
very much.”
“If an old prophecy should come to pass,” answered
his mother, “we may see a man some time, with exactly
such a face as that.”
“What prophecy
do you mean, dear
Mother?” eagerly
inquired Ernest.
“Please tell me about
it.”
So his mother told
him a story that her
own mother had told
her, when she herself
was younger than
little Ernest; that, at
some future day, a
child should be born
