Harry performs a wonderThe Pontification on the Mountain
Chapter 6
And when the large child with great fists had said these things, Harry laughed out loud, and said in a great voice, Now pay close attention, children, because I shall perform a great wonder for you.
2Whereupon Harry made a small sign to his Angels, who advanced on the large child with rods,
3jAnd smote him unto death where he stood, causing the multitudes to quake with awe, and other emotions.
4Then Harry stood over the remains of the large child and said, Behold. kHow quickly and easily are we deprived of life. I have come to tell you great truths, which will make your life better, but I have it equally in my power to make your life shorter, as you have all witnessed.
5Now, which do you prefer? The choice is yours, and truly I must tell you that I don’t care which you choose.
6When Harry had said this, there was a great murmuring in the crowd, but at length the children said to Harry, “We are very much interested in hearing how our lives might be made better, so please teach us, O Wise One, and tell your Angels to go easy, because we are listening to you with great attentiveness.”
7And Harry laughed again, saying, That is much better. I congratulate you for listening to me, for lI know everything, and will tell you everything you need to know.
8Thereupon did Harry walk through the crowd, unmolested by anyone, and mounted the stage, from which place he spoke in a loud voice and at great length.
