The Ogre's Promise to Amos

Amos tied a rope around every tree on the hill. He planned to yank them out of the ground, then sell them in the village's firewood. The ogre thought about his bare hands crushing a piece of rock. His powerful arm hurtling a stone into the clouds. His mighty fist bursting through the trunk of a tree. She heaved a great sigh and sink down to her great knees. "I bet you! Leave me the trees! And I'll leave you alone!"
