The giant looked at him with great delight, and then put him into a large bag, and carried him off Poor Alan tried to get out of the bag, but it was all in vein At last the giant came to his house When he got in, he shut the door, and took Alan out of the bag But Alan was quick and managed to run away from the giant’s house Alan made a promise to himself never to let anyone surprise him from behind once again Answer these questions, in full answers?
