Now there was a great monster named the Afang, that lived in a big bog, hidden among the high hills and inside of a dark, rough forest. NOW THERE WAS A GREAT MONSTER NAMED A FANG THAT LIVED IN A BIG BOG HIDDEN AMONG THE HIGH HILLS AND INSIDE OF A DARK ROUGH FOREST
hey were draining the swamps and bogs, they drove out the monsters, that had made their lair in these wet places. These terrible creatures liked to poison people with their bad breath, and even ate up very little boys and girls, when they strayed away from home. So all the face of the open country between the forests became very pretty to look at. The whole of Cymric land, which then extended from the northern Grampian Hills to Cornwall, and from the Irish Sea, past their big fort, afterward called London, even to the edge of the German Ocean, became a delightful place to live in. The lowlands and the rivers, in which the tide rose and fell daily, were especially attractive. This was chiefly because of the many bright flowers growing there; while the yellow gorse and the pink heather made the hills look as lovely as a young girl's face. Besides this, the Cymric maidens were the prettiest ever, and the lads were all brave and healthy; while both of these knew how to sing often and well.
