have said the magic was gone but that is not true-it had
gone from the magic things but it had not gone from the

had I ever slept in a Dead Place before-and yet, tonight,

dry in my throat, in spite of my wish for knowledge.
Almost I would have gone down again and faced the dogs,
but I did not.
I had not gone through all the rooms when the darkness
fell. When it fell, I went back to the big room looking over
the city and made fire. There was a place to make fire and
a box with wood in it, though I do not think they cooked
there. I wrapped myself in a floor-covering and slept in
front of the fire-I was very tired.

Which excerpt from the passage encompasses the falling action of the story?
Read the passage from "The Willow-Wren and the Bear."
When the fox felt the first sting, he started so that he lifted one leg, from pain, but he bore it, and still kept his tail high in the air; at the second sting, he was forced to put it down for a moment; at the third, he could hold out no longer, screamed, and put his tail between his legs. When the animals saw that, they thought all was lost, and began to flee, each into his hole, and the birds had won the battle.
Then the King and Queen flew home to their children and cried: "Children, rejoice, eat and drink to your heart's content, we have won the battle!” But the young wrens said: "We will not eat yet, the bear must come to the nest, and beg for pardon and say that we are honourable children, before we will do that.” Then the willow-wren flew to the bear's hole and cried: "Growler, you are to come to the nest to my children, and beg their pardon, or else every rib of your body shall be broken.” So the bear crept thither in the greatest fear, and begged their pardon. And now at last the young wrens were satisfied, and sat down together and ate and drank, and made merry till quite late into the night.
