There.  There they are.  There they are.  They are mine!
They belong to me! The Red Bull gathered them for me
one by one, and I bade him drive each one into the sea.  Now, they live
there.  And every tide carries them within an easy step of the land, but
they dare not come out of the water!  They are afraid of the Red Bull.  ...I
like to watch them.  They fill me with joy.  ...The first time I felt it I
thought I was going to die.
