Echo

Echo was a nymph who talked too muchShe was very fond of having the last wordsOne day she sPoke rudely to the great Herawho said that for this offence  Echo should never use her voice againunless to repeat what she hadjust heardbut since she was very fond of last wordsshe might repeat the last words of othersThis was almost as bad as if Hera had changed her into a parrotEcho was very much ashamedand hid herself in the forest

Narcissusa young man who had hair as yellow as gold an deyes as blue as the sky,——a very rare thing in Greecewhere most people were very dark,——used to hunt in the forest where Echo was hidingAs she was looking out shyly from somecave or from behind a great treeEcho often saw Narcissusandshe admired him very much

One say Narcissus became separated from his friendsandhearing something rustle among the leaveshe called out,“Who's here?”

Here,” answered Echo

Here I amCome!”said Narcissus.

I am come,” said Echoandas she spokeshe came outfrom among the trees

When Narcissus saw a stranger instead of one of his friendsas he had expectedhe looked surprised and walked quickly away.

After this Echo never came out and allowed herself to be seen again and in time she disappeared till she became only a voice

This voice was heard for manymany years in forests and among mountainsparticularly in cavesIn their lonely walkshunters often heard itSometimes it repeated the barking of their dogssometimes it repeated their own last wordsIt  always had a strange and sad soundand seemed to make lonely places more lonely still
