The creature had feasted all night long and was sleeping heavily.
He was lying just under a strong spreading branch of an old oak.
When Strongarm noticed this his eyes brightened.
He motioned to an old man to come to him.
After a few minutes they went back to the other men.
All crowded around, for they felt sure that Strongarm had thought of a new plan.
Then Strongarm showed the people what he wanted them to do.
Everybody was eager to help.
The women brought out all the skins that they had.
