' said he . ` Yes , why are you weeping ? ' ` Because , ' replied Halfman , ` the baby is not really ours , but belongs to an ogress . ' ` Are you mad ? ' cried the wife . ` What do you mean by talking like that ? ' ' I promised , ' said Halfman , ` when she undertook to kill my brother and to give you to me , that the first son we had should be hers . ' ` And will she take him from us now ? ' said the poor woman . ` No , not quite yet , ' replied Halfman ; ` when he is bigger . ' ` And is she to have all our children ? ' asked she . ` No , only this one , ' returned Halfman . Day by day the boy grew bigger , and one day as he was playing in the street with the other children , the ogress came by .
