My lie did not settle him , but angered him. "He clutched at my companions and caught two in his hands like squirming puppies to beat their branis out , spattering the floor. Then he dismembered them and made his meal , gaping and crunching like a mountain lion - everything: innards , flesh , and marrow bones."
We cried aloud in horror at the sight of our companions being eaten. After his meal , the Cyclops laid down to rest. "My heart beat high now at the chance of action." I went over to stab him , but then thought better of it ; if he dies , we die. We would never be able to move the large stone from the entrance. "We were left to groan and wait for morning."
(Mountain Lion)
