ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย There's only one thing left now which cannot be missed, and that is to stop ๐๐ at the edge of the lava rocks just outside the farm.ย
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย The lava is ancient and rough, and has had stuff growing on it for a long time. There are green mosses and patches of grass all over the place.ย
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Helgi has often played there, and has had fun looking at the different kinds of shapes in the ever-changing forms of the lava. But now it's getting dark ๐๐.ย
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย The evening ๐๐ shadows stretch their long dark ๐ arms in over the edge of the lava, and then all at once it looks as though the lava turns into living shapes.ย
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย It seems to Helgi that all around him there are giants waking up after their long day's sleep ๐ค๐ด. He feels that they are crowding round him and even reaching out their paws for him.ย
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Perhaps it's only the sound of the wind, but he thinks one of the gaints is saying:
'Now it's time for a little
Boy to go home ๐ ๐ก.
The world is a big place
and it doesn't all belong
to you, even if you think it
does. When men are asleep,
the night belongs to us. And
It's better then if you stay out
of our way'.ย
