Hel. O, no-o!
Poe. Because that little boy was me!
Hel. Yes. And when you got to the top of the tree—
Poe. O, what did I do then?
Hel. Why, you see this was the biggest giant that e-v-e-r lived—and his head was just as high as the top of the tree—so when he came by—
Poe. I know! I know! I just out with my sword, and off went his head!
Hel. So it did! And then you climbed down from the tree—
Poe. And the little girl came out of the cave—
Hel. And you went off together happy ever after!
Poe. What was that little girl’s name, mama?
