Its body was entirely encased in scales harder thanstone or bronze, so that nothing could injure it. Its two large eyesshone like the brightest tapers both by day and night, and whoever hadthe misfortune to meet their glare became as one bewitched, and wasforced to throw himself into the jaws of the monster. So it happenedthat men and animals offered themselves to be devoured, without anynecessity for it to move from its place. The neighbouring kings offeredmagnificent rewards to any one who co...uld destroy the monster by magic orotherwise, and many people had tried their fortune, but their effortswere all futile. On one occasion, a large wood in which the monster wasskulking was set on fire. The wood was destroyed, but the noxious animalwas not harmed in the slightest degree.
