Then the great giant raised a horn to his mouth. They ould see this by the change of the black shape he made gainst the stars. After that.quite a bit later， because ound travels so slowly.they heard the sound of the horn： igh and terrible， yet of a strange， deadly beauty. Immediately the sky became full of shooting stars. Even ne shooting star is a fine thing to see； but these were ozens， and then scores， and then hundreds， till it was like lver rain： and it went on and on. And when it had gone n for some while， one or two of them began to think that here was another dark shape against the sky as well asthe giant‘s. It was in a different place， right overhead， up in the very roof of the sky as you might call it. “Perhaps it is a cloud，” thought Edmund. At any rate， there were no stars there： just blackness. But all around， the downpour of stars went on. And then the starless patch began to grow， spreading further and further out from the centre of the sky. And presently a quarter of the whole sky was black， and then a half， and at last the rain of shooting stars was going on only low down near the horizon.
