'"The gnomes," I answered,

They were ugly, long.nosed
dwarfs, who lived deep down in
the forest. They were very clever

they saw the wicked Loki in

to do 1t.

"Sifa was perfectly enchanted

that Loki escaped punishment

II suppose the golden hair was

Indeed, yes" I answered.
II wonder If that was the first
permanent wave?" asked Bobby,
