"l was to come here for the giant, and demand the tax for him," said the King's son,"How much are you to have then?" said the Other,"l ask for no more than I am able to carry with me," said the Prince."It is well for you that you have not asked for a horse-load," said he who had come out Of the rock. "But now come in with me,"This the Prince did, and what a quantity Of gold and silver he saw! It was lying inside the mountain like heaps of stones in a waste place, and he got a load that was as large as he was able to carry, and with that he went his way. So in the evening, when the giant came home with the goats, the Prince went into the chamber and hummed and sang again as he had done on the other two evenings."Have you been for the tax?" said the giant.'Yes, that I have, master," said the Prince."Where have you put it then?" said the giant again.'The bag of gold is standing there on the bench," said the Prince. "l will see about that," said the giant, and went away to the be

"Young prince, do not seek here for the adder you brought hither. It is here no longer, and you find me in its place to pay you its debt. But to speak more plainly: well, I am fairy Gentille, famous for the many merry and dexterous tricks I know how to perform. All our family live for a hundred years without growing old. We are never ill: we have no sorrows or pains. That time over, we become adders for eight days. It is this period alone that is dangerous for us, for then we can neither foresee nor prevent any misfortunes that may happen to us; and if we are killed we never live again. The eight days past, we assume once more our ordinary shape, our beauty, our power, and our treasures. Now you understand, my lord, what I owe you, and it is only just that I should pay my debt. Think, therefore, what would be useful to you, and be sure of my good will."The young prince, who up to this time had had no dealings with the fairies, was so filled with astonishment that it was long before h

Tulala ako nang umuwi kami sa bahay.Nandito ako ngayon sa kwarto nakahiga sa kama habang pilit na inaalala yong nangyari noon. Sa pagkakaalala ko ilang beses na akong nakidnap pero di ko talaga maalala saan don eh, at saka marami akong mga nakalimutan na nong mga nakaraan ko. Tanging si Bellie nga lang nagpapaalala sakin sa mga bagay-bagay na nangyari sakin kase ewan alangan namang tanongin ko si dad na mag kwento sakin eh, hindi nga kami close.At saka mukhang wala siyang balak ipaalala sakin yong mga nangyari noon. Ewan ko nga ba ba't nakakalimutan ko? Este ba't hindi ko maalala?? Agad akong napabangon ng may biglabg pumasok sa kwarto ko. Inayos ko yong paa ko at tinabunan ng kumot. Nakabukaka lang kase akong nakahiga at naka short lang ako, malamang nakikita na ang panty ko."Oh, James ikaw pala." Tanging nasabi ko."Wag mo na ako pansinin, humiga ka nalang ulit dyan dito lang ako sa sofa manonood ng movie." Wika niya.Napakurap-kurap ko naman siyang sinunod. Unti-unti na akong
