"What are you going to do to me—kill me?" asked Billy.
"No—not if you do what you're told," said Little Bug Bear.
"Worse than that," said Big Bug Bear.
"We're going to operate on your eyes," said the owner of the place.
"Blind me?" cried Billy. "Oh! don't blind me."
"Wait and see," growled Big Bug Bear.
"Oh! but I'd rather you killed me than put my eyes out—how could I see to get around?"
"You'll be able to see to get around," said Little Bug Bear, "but you won't be able to see Bogie Man."
