Text Appearing Before Image:
xpected a whole flock of them with bows andarrows and sharp sticks; but, to my surprise,only one came, and that after a long delay.About nightfall, and just as I was becominghungry, I saw a man—a very large one, Ithought him the largest I ever saw—comeboldly to the door of the cave. He wasarmed only with one of those long pointedsticks that men seem to think are good forfighting dragons. Spears, father, said Sammy, Jr. I know, I know, said his father, sharply.
