          The clock struck three. BONG. BONG. BONG. 
          The boy heard a deep voice up the chimney. 
          "LOOK OUT BELOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!" 
          THUMP. A giant body fell in front of the fireplace. But this body 
     had no arms or legs or head. 
          "LOOK OUT BELOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!" 
          THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP. Two giant legs and two giant arms landed 
     next to it. 
          "LOOK OUT BELOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!" 
          THUMP. A giant head landed by the rest. 
          "I get it!" said the boy. "It's a puzzle, and I have to put it 
     together!" 
          So the boy took the two giant legs and stuck them onto the body. 
     SNAP. SNAP. 
          "Hey!" thundered the deep voice, close by. It was the giant head. 
     "You got the shoes pointing out!" 
          "Oh, sorry," said the boy. He switched the legs. Then he stuck on 
     the arms and the head. SNAP. SNAP. SNAP.
