Jim Hensons The Storyteller – Jim Henson (1)

With that, he tied Anya’s chain to a tree and skipped off with a cruel giggle. Alone, Anya bent to the pond and dipped in the ladle. As she retrieved it, the water poured through a hundred tiny holes… for the Troll had given her a sieve for the task. Impossible! Impossible! She tried and tried and cried and cried until her tears raised the level of the pond more quickly than the sieved ladle could reduce it. She slumped back on the bank in despair, rubbing her eyes with her fingers.

When she opened them, she was face to face with the great white Lion. “Oh, Lion!” she cried. “My ladle is full of holes, my tears increase the water.” “You’re tired, my little,” whispered the Lion. “Lie down and sleep a while.” Anya shook her head. “I dare not,” she told him, “for my Lord the Troll will beat me with his terrible stick.” But even as she spoke, she felt so drowsy, so heavy, so pillow and blanket, that she lay back in the grass and in a moment was asleep.

And in her dream the Lion padded to the pond and drank and drank and drank his fill until he had drunk it dry. When she woke, Anya saw a hole where once there had been water and she could not believe it. “Oh, Lion!” she cried, but again he had disappeared. And in due course, the Troll returned… “How abstractly furiating!” he howled, staring at the pond. He was so bothered and bewildered that his toes ventured too near to the edge and carried him screaming into the mud.

“Aaaaggghhh!” he screamed, and beat at the sludge with his fists. “Look at me,” he moaned. “Now I’ll have to wash all my bodything! Get me out!
