They were astounded when they saw him. Even when seated he was taller than any man they had ever seen. His height was twenty-five feet. His waist was as round as the largest tree they had ever seen. But it was his long beard and whiskers that surprised them most. Hanging to his knees, the boys fancied he could carry several men concealed in it.
