Taffy felt some curiosity to tap it. Would the sleeping host of men then rise up? Just then, the sorcerer, speaking with a menacing gesture, and in a harsh tone, said: "Do not touch that bell, or it's all up with us both." TAFFY FELT SOME CURIOSITY TO TAP IT WOULD THE SLEEPING HOST OF MEN THEN RISE UP JUST THEN THE SORCERER SPEAKING WITH A MENACING GESTURE AND IN A HARSH TONE SAID DO NOT TOUCH THAT BELL OR IT'S ALL UP WITH US BOTH
very old, as if worn, ages ago, by many feet passing up and down them. Taffy shrunk back, as a draught of the close, dead air struck his nostrils. "Come on, and don't be afraid. I'm going to make you rich," said the sorcerer. At this, Taffy's eyes glistened, and he followed on down the steps, without saying a word. At the bottom of the descent, they entered a narrow passage, and finally came to a door. "Now, I'll ask you. Are you brave, and will you come in with me, if I open this door?" By this time, Taffy was so eager for treasure, that he spoke up at once. "I'm not afraid. Open the door." The sorcerer gave a jerk and the door flew open. What a sight! There, in the faint, red light, Taffy discerned a great cave. Lying on the floor were hundreds of armed men, but motionless and apparently sound asleep. Little spangles of light were reflected from swords, spears, round shields, and burnished helmets. All these seemed of very ancient pattern. But immediately in front of them was a bell. TEPS THEY WERE SLIPPERY WITH WET AND THEY LOOKED VERY OLD AS IF WORN AGES AGO BY MANY FEET PASSING UP AND DOWN THEM TAFFY SHRUNK BACK AS A DRAUGHT OF THE CLOSE DEAD AIR STRUCK HIS NOSTRILS COME ON AND DON'T BE AFRAID I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU RICH SAID THE SORCERER AT THIS TAFFY'S EYES GLISTENED AND HE FOLLOWED ON DOWN THE STEPS WITHOUT SAYING A WORD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DESCENT THEY ENTERED A NARROW PASSAGE AND FINALLY CAME TO A DOOR NOW I'LL ASK YOU ARE YOU BRAVE AND WILL YOU COME IN WITH ME IF I OPEN THIS DOOR BY THIS TIME TAFFY WAS SO EAGER FOR TREASURE THAT HE SPOKE UP AT ONCE I'M NOT AFRAID OPEN THE DOOR THE SORCERER GAVE A JERK AND THE DOOR FLEW OPEN WHAT A SIGHT THERE IN THE FAINT RED LIGHT TAFFY DISCERNED A GREAT CAVE LYING ON THE FLOOR WERE HUNDREDS OF ARMED MEN BUT MOTIONLESS AND APPARENTLY SOUND ASLEEP LITTLE SPANGLES OF LIGHT WERE REFLECTED FROM SWORDS SPEARS ROUND SHIELDS AND BURNISHED HELMETS ALL THESE SEEMED A VERY ANCIENT PATTERN BUT IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF THEM WAS A BELL
