"Well I am a little hungry." "Thats the spirit,"
said the man. "Now you come with me and i will make you something
nice to eat, come on this way". THe boy was very hungry but he
had a feeling that something just was'nt right, but he thought it was
just his stomach talking so he went on anyway. (Back at the cottage)
" I know it's not much but it's home, thirsty?" "es,
please". Minutes later his food was ready and of what a feast it
was as if the man was expecting company there was so much food. The
boy still had a very bad feeling and it worsened as the man spoke.
"Say, thats a nice piece of work you got there my boy, fine
crystal, fine crystal indeed." "You would'nt mind if i asked
you were you got that would ya?" The boy explains. " It was
a gift from my grandfather." "Oh must be something real
special then." "Yeah." "Well it's about that time
don't you think, your welcome to stay the night, i mean it's the least
i could do for a brave act you did for me."
STAY or GO?
