"By all means!"
            And there was another arm.
            "Shall I throw it down?"
            "Yes!"
            Then came the trunk of a body, and the arms and legs
            stuck onto it, and there stood a man without a head.
            "Shall I throw it down?"
            "Throw it down!"
            Down came the head and sprang into place atop the
            trunk. He was truly a giant, and Little John raised his
            glass and said, "To your health!"
            The giant said,
            "Take the lamp and come with me."
            Little John picked up the lamp, but didn't budge.
            "You go first!" said the giant.
            "No, after you," insisted Little John.
