The Tree-dwellers ran, for they still were afraid.
Bodo ran; for he, too, was afraid.
But he soon stopped and looked at the fire.
“Bodo stood and watched it a moment”
He was almost full grown now.
He was learning every day.
He was curious about many things, and now he wanted to see what the red monster was doing.
So he stood and watched it a moment.
It seemed to be chasing him.
