They tried to scratch Perseus with their claws. Quickly he put on his magic cap. No longer could the Gorgons see him. Perseus looked around. Mercury was gone. He hurried to the king. "You!" cried the king when he saw Perseus. "What are you doing here?"

The sisters wanted their eye badly enough to tell Perseus anything. Quickly they told him what he wanted to know. He gave back their eye. "Tell me who the Nymphs are," said Perseus to Mercury after they left the gray sisters.

It did not take Mercury and Perseus long to find the Nymphs. They gave Perseus the three gifts. One gift was a magic leather purse. Another was a pair of shoes with wings on them. The last gift was a strange cap. When Perseus wore the cap, no one could see him. Wearing the shoes, he could fly.

Early the next morning, Perseus started on his dangerous adventure. While he was walking, he began to think.

Perseus flew down. He struck hard at Medusa with his sword. Off came the terrible head! "Put it in your purse," called Mercury. To Perseus' surprise, the small purse grew large enough to hold Medusa's head. The other Gorgons awoke.

he- he runs this house as if he were on one of his ships again.

"Maybe I can help you." Mercury listened while Perseus told his story. "Yes," he said when Perseus had finished. "You were foolish. But I will help you. If you listen to me, you can get the Gorgon's head. First of all, you must shine your shield. Shine it until you can see your face in it."

Perseus was one of the bravest Greek heroes. When he was just a little boy, his father died. His father was a king. So it was right that Perseus should be the next king. There were some bad men who did not want this.

At first Mercury's music was fast. Then he changed to soft, sleepy tunes. One eye of Argus closed, then another. Mercury played on. At last one eye was open. Now Mercury's music was very soft. He played the sweetest tune he knew. Just as the music ended, the eye closed. All hundred eyes were shut. Argus was asleep!

"Who stole our eye?" Give us back our eye!" they cried. "It is our only eye! We cannot are." "Tell them," whispered Mercury to Perseus, "that they shall have their eye when they tell you where to find the Nymphs."

Perseus did as he was told. "That's fine," Mercury said. "Now take my sword. It is the only sword that can cut off the Gorgon's head. Our first job is to find the three gray sisters."

Suddenly it came to him. The king had tricked him! "How foolish I am," he said. "I can't kill a Gorgon. The Gorgons will kill me. Why did I make such a promise?" Then he heard a voice behind him saying, "Perseus, why are you worried?" He turned around. There stood a man wearing a cape and a strange cap. Perseus looked at him closely.

They said, "Let us build a big box. We will take Perseus and his mother far out to sea in it. They will drown. Then we can choose our own king." Perseus and his mother saw the men. "What do you want?" cried the frightened mother. "Where are you taking us?" The men did not answer.
