Goodgulf quickly scrambled down, and Arrowroot and Bromosel tugged the
door open a few more inches. At that moment, a great gurgling and belching
arose from the center of the pond, and a large corduroy monster slowly lifted
itself above the surface with a loud hiccup.

The company stood rooted to the ground in terror. The creature was about
fifty feet tall, with wide lapels, long dangling participles, and a pronounced
gazetteer.

"Aiyee!" shouted Legolam. "A Thesaurus!"

"Maim!" roared the monster. "Mutilate, mangle, crush. See HARM."

"Quick," cried Goodgulf. "Into the cavern," and the company hurriedly
slipped one by one through the narrow crack. Last of all came Spam, who tried
to squeeze the protesting sheep through the' opening. After two frenzied but
unsuccessful attempts, he picked up the annoyed herbivore and threw him bodily
into the beast's gaping mouth.

"Eatable," said the giant creature between munches, "edible, esculent,
comestible. See FOOD."
