For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
PETER AND HANS.

~ ETER AND HANS were brothers
- and they lived near forest.
II They were good boys most OF
the time, but once in while
they would disobey their mother and
go too near the forest.
Some days you boys will go so near
the giant Boo-man will get you." she
told them, land then you will remem-
Der what I have told you. and 1t will
be too late"
But Hans and Peter did not believe
the Giant Boo-man could run as fast
as they could, and one day they went
nearer than usual. and the first thing
they knew something grabbed them
both by the back and seemed to ~
with them into the forest.
1t was the giant Boo-man who had
taken each boy by the back with his
great big hands and vas walking away.
His steps were SO long that 1t seemed
with each step he was whirling them
along.
By and by he came to his cave. and
he sat Peter and Hans on the ground
before the door and looked at them.
He was SO tall that the boys did not
see him: they thought his legs wers
two big trees. and they wondered
what had happened.
1T must have been a terrible wind
that blew us here" said Hans, looking
about.
I'VE are way in the forest" said
Peter. Il wonder how we shall ever
get out. l think / will climb this tree
and see II / can see how far we are
into the forest
When he began to climb the tree
moved and Peter slid to the ground.
his hair almost on end with fright.
Both boys looked up, and there, tow
ering above them, they saw the giant
Boo man, laughing down at them.
Thought my leg was a tree, didn't
you?" he asked.
Peter and Hans did not answer, for
they were too frightened to do any
thing but stare.
DO YOU know who 1 am?" asked the
Giant Boo-man.
Again there was no answer Cant
YOU boys speak? Let me see IL you
have tongues; open your mouths"
Peter and Hans obeyed and the Giant
Boo-man began to laugh. DO you call
those tiny bits tongues he asked.
Look at mine If you wnt to see one
worth living"
Both boys fell over on the ground
when they saw the Giant Boo-man' S
tongue. it was so large.
Hans was the first to recover. He
jumped up, and when the Giant looked
down at him he said: Il wish you
would come down nearer to us so We
can see your big mouth better.
Peter began to tremble with fright.
Don't get him any nearer to us; he
will eat us If you do
He will probably do that any way,
replied Hans. and l have thought OF
a way we may escape. You do as /
tell you; II is our only chance
OF course both boys knew by this
time that 1t was the CANT Boo-man

The giant slowly lowered his body to
the ground and sat down. Now what
do you want?" he asked
I'VE want to see your mouth OPEN"
said Hans.
"Oh, you do" said the giant, begin
ming to laugh. When he did this he
opened his mouth so wide that both
/ boys thought they We're lost and they
almost fell into 1t from fright.
But Hans pushed Peter behind him
and tried to look very brave. I wish
We could feed you." he said. I should
BIKE to try to fill your mouth; am sure
II must be the very largest mouth in the
whole world"
II think it is.'' replied the Giant Boo
man, pleased that he was to be so
much admired. IF You really want to
see me eat go into my cave and bring
out ali the food you see on the table
Hans and Peter went in, and on
high table they saw ten chickens, ten
cakes, ten loaves of bread, ten turnips
and as many as a bushel of potatoes all
cooked 1t took them a long time to
bring all this outside the cave, but at
last they had it all outside and the
giant laid down on the ground and
opened his mouth. Hans dropped in a
chicken and waited FOR the giant to
swallow 1t.
II YOU are gcing to feed me" said
the giant sitting up, you boys will
have to work faster than that. / want
a mouthful. not a taste; put In two or
three chickens and ten potatoes and
cake and a loaf of bread and a turnip
all at once
The boys began to feed him, and as
soon as his mouth was full they stepped
ayay and waited. Now Is our time"
said Hans to Peter.
THE next time he opens his mouth put
in a few things, and then put in a big
rock as large as We can lift, and then
more food. and then another rock"
"AlI ready" said the giant as soon as
he had finished what he called a mouth
full
The boys put into his mouth three
chickens and ten potatoes. and then
they put in a large stone. then loaf OF
bread and then they filed his mouth
with stones as large as they could lit.
When the giant began to eat the first
stone made him cough, and by the time
he reached the others he was coughing
and choking so he could not see the
bows. who were running as fast as their
legs would carry them. On and on
they ran. never stopping until they
reached the edge of the forest.
"Do YOU suppose he will come after
us?" asked Peter when they stopped to
get their breath.
Il guess he won't get over that cough
ing spell very soon" said Hans. L
nushed those stones down hard"
IF he ever does get us again, he will
not wait to take us TO his cave. but put
MS in his big mouth at once. and think
we better keep away from this forest"
said Peter.
Il expect he would put us both in at
once and never know We were there.
said Hans. l never mean to disobey
mother again. for now We know there
really is a Giant Boo-man and will car
