“Even many two-brained and one-brained beings of this same planet, such as for instance the beings called there ‘hyenas,’ ‘cats,’ ‘wolves,’ ‘lions,’ ‘tigers,’ ‘wild dogs,’ ‘bagooshis,’ ‘frogs,’ and many others who have not in their what are called ‘law-conformable–presences’ any data at all which give the possibility of ‘comparative logic,’ at the present time still continue, of course only instinctively, to sense this act as sacred, and manifest it only during those periods which were foredesigned by Great Nature for this sacred sacrament, namely, chiefly at the period of the beginning of a new completing movement of that cosmic concentration on which they have their place of arising and existence, that is, during the period which three-brained beings everywhere call the ‘Dionosks-of-the-sacred–sacraments-of-Serooazar,’ and which on the planet which has interested you are called ‘spring days.’

“Perhaps, my boy, you do not yet know anything about the ‘sacred–sacraments-of-the-great-Serooazar’?” Beelzebub asked his grandson.

To this question of Beelzebub’s his grandson Hassein replied thus:

“No, dear Grandfather, the details of this I do not yet know; I only know that these Dionosks are regarded among us on the planet Karatas as great holy days and are called ‘Helping-God-Dionosks,’ and I know that for these great holy days, the Dionosks, all our beings, ‘Actavus’ and well as ‘Passavus,’ prepare themselves almost from the end of the previous holy day, and that one ‘Loonias’ before the beginning of these sacred sacraments, both old and young among us cease to introduce the first being-food into themselves and, by various sacred ceremonies, mentally give thanks to our COMMON CREATOR for their existence.

“I also know that the last two of these solemn Dionosks are considered and called among us the ‘Dionosks-for-the-glorifying-of-the-first-producer-of-each-family.’
