The trouble was just here. There were plenty of brave fellows, ready to fight the monster, but nothing made of iron could pierce that hide of his. THE TROUBLE WAS JUST THERE THERE WERE PLENTY OF BRAVE FELLOWS READY TO FIGHT THE MONSTER BUT NOTHING MADE OF IRON COULD PIERCE THAT HIDE OF HIS
d that both puppies and kittens were drowned. So, whether for men or mothers, pussies or puppies, the Cymric men thought the time had come to stop this monster's mischief. It was bad enough that people should be eaten up, but to have all their crops ruined and animals drowned, so that they had to go hungry all winter, with only a little fried fish, and no turnips, was too much for human patience. There were too many weeping mothers and sorrowful fathers, and squalling brats and animals whining for something to eat. Besides, if all the oats were washed away, how could their wives make flummery, without which, no Cymric man is ever happy? And where would they get seed for another year's sowing? And if there were no cows, how could the babies or kitties live, or any grown-up persons get buttermilk? Someone may ask, why did not some brave man shoot the Afang, with a poisoned arrow, or drive a spear into him under the arms, where the flesh was tender, or cut off his head with a sharp sword? OG HOWLING PITEOUSLY OFTEN IT HAPPENED THAT BOTH PUPPIES AND KITTENS WERE DROWNED SO WHETHER FOR MEN OR MOTHERS PUSSIES OR PUPPIES THE CUMBRICHMAN THOUGHT TIME HAD COME TO STOP THIS MONSTER'S MISCHIEF IT WAS BAD ENOUGH THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE EATEN UP BUT TO HAVE ALL THEIR CROPS RUINED AND ANIMALS DROWNED SO THEY HAD TO GO HUNGRY ALL WINTER WITH ONLY A LITTLE FRIED FISH AND NO TURNIPS WAS TOO MUCH FOR HUMAN PATIENCE THERE WERE TOO MANY WEEPING MOTHERS AND SORROWFUL FATHERS AND SQUALLING BRATS AND ANIMALS WHINING FOR SOMETHING TO EAT BESIDES IF ALL THE OATS WERE WASHED AWAY HOW COULD THEIR WIVES MAKE FLUMMERY WITHOUT WHICH NO COMRACK MAN IS EVER HAPPY AND WHERE WOULD THEY GET SEED FOR ANOTHER YEAR'S SEWING AND IF THERE WERE NO COWS HOW COULD THE BABIES OR KITIES LIVE OR ANY GROWN UP PERSON GET BUTTERMILK SOME ONE MAY ASK WHY DID NOT SOME BRAVE MAN SHOOT THE APEHANG WITH A POISON ARROW OR DRIVE A SPEAR INTO HIM UNDER THE ARMS WHERE THE FLESH WAS TENDER OR CUT OFF HIS HEAD WITH A SHOP SWORD
