For My Brother Page #2

Itty-bitty pigs were

wallowing in the mud.

And whenever

one of them stumbled -

- all the others would oink at it

like little pigs do.

There wasn't a soul in sight, -

- yet the two princes felt

like someone was watching them.

But there was no one there.

They trotted on to the town centre

where they came upon an old crone.

A haggard old crone

drawing water from the well.

... said the crank

as the woman scowled at them.

But they gathered up their courage

and rode over to her and asked her -

- where all the other people

had gone.

She glanced over her shoulder -

- as if she was looking for

something or someone.

And with a croak she asked them

who they were -

- and who they were looking for.

They explained how they were two

princes out to rescue the princess -

- from the evil Lord Tigo

of the Shadow Realm.

- And now it's sleepy time.

- Tell me a bit more.

After a day like yours, Mias and

Ramo would be fast asleep now.

When will Dad be home?

Soon.

Will you stay till I'm asleep?

Sure thing.

Sleep tight.

Who is it?

No one you know.

Open the door!

- Hi. Come on in.

- Thanks.

- Hi.

- Can I take your coat?

Come on.

- Are you okay?

- Sure.

I'm okay.

Kiss me.

Do it to me.

Can I have you without it?

- It'll cost you extra.

- That's okay.

Go.

Come on!

Do it!

Bye.

Dear God.

Please watch over Bastian...

... and make Dad remember

to take his pills.

And watch over Mom, too.

Thank you.

Dad?

Dad! Dad!

Aske?

Aske. Aske...

Are you asleep?

- No, you're not.

- Am too.

Then how come you're

looking at me and speaking?

It's in order to -

- do this!

- What do you want now?

- Nothing! Stop!

- Why?

- Because!

- Because what?

- Just because!

Promise to behave, then?

- Can I go fishing down on the pier?

- Did you ask Dad?

He's snoring.

Sure, go ahead.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Hi.

- Hiya.

- You just got out of bed?

- Yeah.

Sleeping late, huh? We went

to see a horror flick yesterday.

- Any good?

- It was awesome.

Totally American, but really cool.

Did you do that biology report?

No, I didn't have the time.

I'll do it another day.

- Now, there's a party.

- What do you mean?

Your old man. He snores.

My dad snores, too. It feels like

the whole house is coming down.

My mom hates it.

- Wanna head on into town?

- Yeah, I guess.

Great. I'll just go to the loo

while you eat.

- Guys, look who it is.

- It's the cry-baby.

Let's go say hello.

- Hey, isn't that the cry-baby?

- It sure looks like him.

- Don't let him eat you.

- He's got a taste for Magnus.

- Hi there.

- Looking to catch some dinner?

- Hey! Are you?

- No.

You should help out your old man,

now that he's unemployed.
