Aha! thought Edmund. When it springs at the dwarf then will be my chance to escape. But still the lion never moved, nor did the dwarf.

only be a statue! No living animal would have let itself get covered with snow. Then very slowly and with his heart beating as if it would burst, Edmund ventured to go up to the lion. Even noe he hardly dared to touch it, but at last he put out his hand, very quickly, and did. It was cold stone. He had been frightened of a mere statue! Teacher Read Aloud
