Hans stoutly. THAT box belongs to my

The king looked surprised at this
brave reply.

And in that case. think. We ought to

a white dog. about a. big as a kitten,
had fallen into Its depth. Hans climbed
down. put the dog in his pocket and
scrambling out began mis- journey again,
leading the COW.

king as he entered the circle Of Troll4
