Whatching over the old man was alot of work.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| "Time for bed, my dear sir." | |
 | |  |
|
 |
|
|
|
On the seventh night, around midnight, I turned the latch of his door and opened it, oh so gently!
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
As my head had finally fit in the opening of the door, the old man's "vulture eye" opens.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| "Who's there? Who's there?" | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| "It's nothing but the wind in the chimney; it is only a mouse crossing the floor; it is merely a cricketwhich has made a single chirp." | |
