Diana Nyad—Marathon Swimmer

(1) On August 19, 1979, Diana Nyad began her historic swim from Bimini, Bahams, to Jupiter, Florida, 89 miles away. (2) Nyad, a veteran of several marathons swims, wants to set a new world record for the longest open-water swim. (3) In 1974 she swam across Lake Ontario from north to south—a difficult crossing because of the swift current of the Niagara river. (4) A year later she completed a swim of more than 25 miles around New York City’s Manhattan Island, she had battled dangerous currents for nearly eight hours. (5) The swim from the Bahamas to Florida, however, would be far more treacherous than anything she had previously attempted. (6) It would require exceptional physical and mental strength.

(7) Nyad, like other long-distance swimmers, knew that every marathon swim is a grueling physical experence. (8) In earlier marathons she had become delirious from the fatigue of continuous stroking, kicking, and breathing. (9) She also knew that her senses would become impaired. (10) Her dark goggles would fog over, making it impossible for her to see. (11) Even though her coach and crew were in a support boat only twenty feet away, the tight rubber swim cap that covered her ears would prevent her from hearing the

coach’s whistle. (12) The salt water would even affect her senses of taste, touch, and smell.

(13) In addition to extreme physical exhaustion, Nyad was aware of the many dangers she would face in the water. (14) During earlier marathons schools of jellyfish had repeatedly stung her. (15) On Nyad’s Bahamas-to-Florida swim, a shark appeared.

(16) Nyad’s crew was prepared with an electronic shark shield. (17) Crew members sent out a wave of electricity that did not harm Nyad but affected the shark and cause them to turn away. (18) Electricity can be used to repel many other kinds of animals. (19) Despite all the obstacles she faced, Nyad successfully reached her goal. (20) She was exhausted but happy. (21) She waded onto the Florida shore. (22) She had endured 28 hours of nonstop swimming. (23) The world record for the longest open water swim was hers!

When the first little crocus peeped out of the ground,
And slyly looked round,
Not a flower was awake, not a bit of new green
Was anywhere seen;
5 And it seemed, with a shiver the little one said,
"Oh, I am afraid,
The trees are so n.a.k.e.d, the earth is so black!
Please let me go back!
You have called me too early, my dear Mother Spring,
10 I am such a wee thing!"

Then a bluebird whistled, "Oh, no! my dear,
It is good you are here;
For now we are sure that spring is near."
Then a sober old robin came bustling by
15 With the sleep in his eye;
"Ah, me! how s.t.u.p.i.d. I was to wait;
And now I am late!
The bluebird has piped, and the crocus has come;
And you know by the hum
20 The h.o.t little bee is beating his drum."

Then sweet Mother Spring, with a sunshine k.i.s.s.,
Said something like this:
"Thanks, brave little crocus, so slender and small,
For heeding my call
25 While orchards were leafless, and snow-drifts staid
In the all-day shade:
You are telling us sweetly that soonest begun
The soonest is done;
That little by little makes up the great,
30 And early obeying is better than late."

The Beggar and the King

by Winthrop Parkhurst

[A chamber in the palace overlooks a courtyard. The season is midsummer. The windows of the palace are open, and from a distance there comes the sound of a man's voice crying for bread.]

[THE KING sits in a golden chair. A golden crown is on his head, and he holds in his hand a sceptre which is also of gold. A SERVANT stands by his side, fanning him with an enormous fan of peacock feathers.]

THE BEGGAR: (outside) Bread. Bread. Bread. Give me some bread.

THE KING: (languidly) Who is that crying in the street for bread?

THE SERVANT: (fanning) O king, it is a beggar.

THE KING: Why does he cry for bread?

THE SERVANT: O king, he cries for bread in order that he may fill his belly.

THE KING: I do not like the sound of his voice. It annoys me very much. Send him away.

THE SERVANT: (bowing) O king, he has been sent away.

THE KING: If that is so, then why do I hear his voice?

THE SERVANT: O king, he has been sent away many times, yet each time that he is sent away he returns again, crying louder than he did before.

THE KING: He is very unwise to annoy me on such a warm day. He must be punished for his impudence. Use the lash on him.

THE SERVANT: O king, it has been done.

THE KING: Then bring out the spears.

THE SERVANT: O king, the guards have already bloodied their swords many times driving him away from the palace gates. But it is of no avail.

THE KING: Then bind him and gag him if necessary. If need be cut out his tongue. I do not like the sound of the fellow's voice. It annoys me very much.

THE SERVANT: O king, thy orders were obeyed even yesterday.

THE KING: (frowning) No. That cannot be. A beggar cannot cry for bread who has no tongue.

THE SERVANT: Behold he can—if he has grown another.

THE KING: What! Why, men are not given more than one tongue in a lifetime. To have more than one tongue is treason.

THE SERVANT: If it is treason to have more than one tongue, O king, then is this beggar surely guilty of treason?

THE KING: (pompously) The punishment for treason is death. See to it that the fellow is slain. And do not fan me so languidly. I am very warm.

THE SERVANT: (fanning more rapidly) Behold, O great and illustrious king, all thy commands were obeyed even yesterday.

THE KING: How! Do not jest with thy king.

THE SERVANT: If I jest, then there is truth in a jest. Even yesterday, O king, as I have told thee, the beggar which thou now hearest crying aloud in the street was slain by thy soldiers with a sword.

THE KING: Do ghosts eat bread? Forsooth, men who have been slain with a sword do not go about in the streets crying for a piece of bread.

THE SERVANT: Forsooth, they do if they are fashioned as this beggar.

THE KING: Why, he is but a man. Surely he cannot have more than one life in a lifetime.

THE SERVANT: Listen to a tale, O king, which happened yesterday.

THE KING: I am listening.

THE SERVANT: Thy soldiers smote this beggar for crying aloud in the streets for bread, but his wounds are already healed. They cut out his tongue, but he immediately grew another. They slew him, yet he is now alive.

THE KING: Ah! That is a tale which I cannot understand at all.
Read this excerpt from The Beggar and the King.

THE KING: Then bind him and gag him if necessary. If need be cut out his tongue. I do not like the sound of the fellow's voice. It annoys me very much.

THE SERVANT: O king, thy orders were obeyed even yesterday.

THE KING: (frowning) No. That cannot be. A beggar cannot cry for bread who has no tongue.

THE SERVANT: Behold he can—if he has grown another.

How does this dialogue affect the action of the story?


It prompts the king to order that the beggar be fed and sheltered.

It forces the king to examine how poorly he treats his subjects.

It causes the king to make a declaration that having two tongues is treasonous.

It makes the king become fearful of the beggar and what he might be planning.
