Examples
“-- Many of the tales are mere thaumatolatry: as of the man who took out his bones and washed them once every thousand years; or of the man who would fill his mouth with rice-grains, let them forth as a swarm of bees to gather honey in the valley, -- then readmit them into his mouth as to a hive, where they became rice again, -- presumably "sweetened to taste.”
