== The Deeds of Mung ==
==== Lord of all Deaths between Pegana and the Rim ====
Once, as Mung went his way athwart the Earth and up and down
its cities and across its plains, Mung came upon a man who
was afraid when Mung said: "I am Mung!" 
And Mung said: "Were the forty million years before thy
coming intolerable to thee?" 
And Mung said: "Not less tolerable to thee shall be the
forty million years to come!" 
Then Mung made against him the sign of Mung and the Life
of the Man was fettered no longer with hands and feet. 
At the end of the flight of the arrow there is Mung, and
in the houses and the cities of Men. Mung walketh in all
places at all times. But mostly he loves to walk in the
dark and still, along the river mists when the wind hath
sank, a little before night meeteth with the morning upon
the highway between Pegana and the Worlds. 
Sometimes Mung entereth the poor man's cottage; Mung also
boweth very low before The King. Then do the Lives of the
poor man and of The King go forth among the Worlds. 
And Mung said: "Many turnings hath the road that Kib hath
given every man to tread upon the earth. Behind one of
these turnings sitteth Mung." 
One day as a man trod upon the road that Kib had given
him to tread he came suddenly upon Mung. And when Mung
said: "I am Mung!" the man cried out: "Alas, that I took
this road, for had I gone by any other way then had I not
met with Mung." 
And Mung said: "Had it been possible for thee to go by
any other way then had the Scheme of Things been otherwise
and the gods had been other gods. When MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI
forgets to rest and makes again new gods it may be that They
will send thee again into the Worlds; and then thou mayest
choose some other way, and not meet with Mung." 
Then Mung made the sign of Mung. And the Life of that
man went forth with yesterday's regrets and all old sorrows
and forgotten things -- whither Mung knoweth. 
And Mung went onward with his work to sunder Life from
flesh, and Mung came upon a man who became stricken with
sorrow when he saw the shadow of Mung. But Mung said: "When
at the sign of Mung thy Life shall float away there will
also disappear thy sorrow at forsaking it." But the man
cried out: "O Mung! tarry for a little, and make not the
sign of Mung against me *now*, for I have a family upon the
earth with whom sorrow will remain, though mine should
disappear because of the sign of Mung." 
And Mung said: "With the gods it is always Now. And
before Sish hath banished many of the years the sorrows of
thy family for thee shall go the way of thine." And the man
beheld Mung making the sign of Mung before his eyes, which
beheld things no more.
