for you to the Ogre. Where does he
live?"
II Will show you II you really mean
to help me-" said the little man. He
is asleep and am sure you can carry
the pears TO his cave and get away
again before he awakes."
Wee-Bit went to work and before
long he had all the pears in basket
he had brought from the cellar and
was following the little man through
the woods.
When they reached a mountainside
the little man gave three taps with a
stone. A door which Wee-Bit had not
seen swung open and they entered.
The door closed with a loud bang
and Wee-Bit wondered how he should
get out If the Ogre did wake up and
! find him inside his home.
All the way along the long passage
/ IL was so dark all he could see was
the red cap OF the little man as il
bobbed along before him. AT last the
little man brought Wee-Bit TO a place
where II was light.
The little man now stood still and
put tiny finger on his lips. "Hush."
he warned. HE is alseep. Hear his
snoring?"
Then he led Wee-Bit into room
where on q huge bench-like bed he
saw the Ogre asleep and because he
was SO surprised at the size of the
creature, Wee-Bit did not look where
he was walking.
One of the Ogre's boots lay on the
floor and before he could catch him.
self Wee-Bit had stumbled over il ant
fell sprawling on the floor, the basket
and the pears rolling in all directions
;, The little man ran under the Dec
and sat trembling there and the Ogre
with a roar, jumped up and looked
about, rubbing his eyes.
Who's in my ROOM he asked
and then he saw Wee-Bit, who was OF
his feet and picking up the pears.
See what l have brought to you.
said Wee-Bit, not knowing what els'
to say. There isn't pear left on tn,
tree"
The Ogre took one of the pears AM
put it into his big mouth, Where il
that miserable. lazy Goblin?" he in
quired.
Wee-Bit felt sorry for the littl
fellow. He came out from under tn
bed on his hands and knees, to-
frightened TO stand up.
"You lazy little creature" said tn
Ogre. taking another pear into hi
mouth, you had TO have someone ge
them for you. You will remain in M
powerl Begone."
The Ogre did not seem to have tn
least trouble IN talking with a Who'll
pear in his mouth and as he ate h
talked to Wee-Bit telling him to <
into the next room and bring TO him
long leather bag which he would fin
on a chair.
Now the Ogre's chairs were muc
taller than little Wee-Bit so when h
entered the room he looked in amaze
ment at all the huge furniture he sa,
and more than all at a big kettl
boiling over pile of stones thong
there seemed to be no fire.
Il wonder what is in that pot?
thought Wee-Bit. forgetting the er
rand on which he had been sent by th
ogre.
