Question
Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon."
Sometimes signs are sent by bad spirits. I waited again
on the flat rock, fasting, taking no food. I was very still I
could feel the sky above me and the earth beneath. I
waited till the sun was beginning to sink. Then three deer
passed in the valley going east-they did not mind me or
see me. There was a white fawn with them-a very
great sign.
