Over this cavern was a big sign, which Dorothy read with much curiosity, speaking the words aloud that all might know what they said: "MISTER YOOP--HIS CAVE The Largest Untamed Giant in Captivity.
Height, 21 Feet .-- (And yet he has but 2 feet.) Weight, 1640 Pounds .-- (But he waits all the time.) Age, 400 Years 'and Up' (as they say in the Department Store advertisements).
Temper, Fierce and Ferocious .-- (Except when asleep.) Appetite, Ravenous .-- (Prefers Meat People and Orange Marmalade.) STRANGERS APPROACHING THIS CAVE DO SO AT THEIR OWN PERIL! P.S .-- Don't feed the Giant yourself." "Very well," said Ojo, with a sigh; "let's go back." "It's a long way back," declared Dorothy.
"So it is," remarked the Scarecrow, "and it means a tedious climb over those sharp rocks if we can't use this passage.

I think it will be best to run by the Giant's cave as fast as we can go.

Mister Yoop seems to be asleep just now." But the Giant wasn't asleep.

He suddenly appeared at the front of his cavern, seized the iron bars in his great hairy hands and shook them until they rattled in their sockets.

Yoop was so tall that our friends had to tip their heads way back to look into his face, and they noticed he was dressed all in pink velvet, with silver buttons and braid.
