Classics Illustrated Junior #548, The Magic Pitcher

Nathaniel Hawthorne

An old man named Philemon and his wife, Baucis, graciously show hospitality to strangers who turn out to be, none other than Mercury, messenger of the Gods and old Jupiter, Father of us all. From an empty pitcher, milk flows endlessly. Find out what happens to the mean villagers when the valley fills with water. Who is Quicksilver and why does he have wings on his feet?
