From the library
It is a most tremendous monster, like a great spider, with a body as big as an elephant and legs as long as a tree trunk.
It has eight of these long legs, and as the monster crawls through the forest he seizes an animal with a leg and drags it to his mouth, where he eats it as a spider does a fly.
“No; there were some, but the monster has eaten them all.
Thick, woolly hair covered every part of it, and a more dreadful-looking monster could not be imagined.
