at once bestowed it and all the ogre’s wealth on HOP-O-MY-
Hop-o’-my-Thumb. THUMB
So Hop-o’-my-Thumb took up his abode in that

once dreaded house, and lived there with his

father, his mother, and his brothers.

His seven-league boots made them all rich, for
whenever any one wished to send letters, or make
inquiries at a distance, they sent to Hop-o’-my-

Thumb and asked him to go for them, and as he

was paid a large sum for every journey, or we may

say step, he took, he became a very wealthy man.
