played among his hair. Sometimes, for a min-
ute or two; the Giant dropped asleep, and snored
like the rush of a whirlwind. During one of these
little bits of slumber, a Pygmy chanced to climb
upon his shoulder, and took a view around tho
horizon, as from the summit of a hill; and he
beheld something, a long way off, which made
him rub the bright specks of his eyes, and look
sharper than before. At first he mistook it for
a mountain, and wondered how it had grown up
so suddenly out of the earth. But soon he
saw the mountain move. As it came nearer and
nearer, what should it turn out to be but a hu-
man shape, not so big as Antaeus, it is true,
although a very enormous figure, in comparison
with Pygmies, and a vast deal bigger than the.
men whom we see nowadavs.

When the Pygmy was quite satisfied that his
eyes had not deceived him, he scampered, as fast
as his legs would carry him, to the Giant's ear,
and stooping over its cavity, shouted lustily
into it, --

"Halloo, brother Antaeus! Get up this min-
ute, and tako your pine tree walking stick in
your hand. Here comes another Giant to have
a tussle with you."
