Nasty went home, and retired to
his peaceful couch, and dreamed
Ehusly:
Methawt I wuz in q bildin, where

ONO a couch and kivered WIZ the
body Of an enormus giant-the
most huge compreh ensive giant

strength. and wuz still in his ILL
ness ez hansum . human bein ez

his breth painfully, and from the
ugly wounds on his body blood
oozed slowly but depletinly.
