him to come in gently.
Here are the fish," said the boy
pointing to a pile Of barrels. But be-

The ogre moaned and groaned and

father note. and Oris took 1t up and
dropped 1t at the ogre's door at dawn.
BY noon there came a wagon full OF

So Oris let the young ogre 20 free and
called his father to come and see the
bags of gold, the children and the father
and mother and Oris dragged and tug

OF SIX inches and threatened to spread
