Grandfather came down holding the monkey and sat beside Sayleigh, saying, "You scared me and woke me up.
What brought you here so quickly? 569
" Sayleigh: "Grandpa, the magic sword has disappeared among the weeds." Grandfather: "Come on, show me where you were training." Sayleigh pointed to the tall weeds and said, "There." Grandfather walked through the weeds. 570
When he had covered some distance, he took out a red handkerchief and tied it over his eyes.
Then he stood up and called out to Sayleigh, "Look down. Do you see anything?" 571
Sayleigh: "Yes, I found the sword. It's stuck to something strange." Grandfather removed the handkerchief and said to Sayleigh, "Move away. Don't touch it. It's a mine." Grandfather brought a long stick and began moving the sword in all directions. 572
Grandfather didn't notice any vibration or explosion, so he went and grabbed the sword. Suddenly, he looked at the stuck dwarf robot.
When Sayleigh saw it, he rejoiced and said to Grandfather, "Give it to me. What a beautiful toy!" Grandfather: "It might contain something dangerous. Let's remove this sword." On their way to the cottage, Grandpa thought about 573
the object he had found. He hadn't seen it in the books he'd read, nor in the stone designs. He began to suspect that it came from another world. Grandpa had read some legends about strange creatures invading Earth and returning for revenge. 574
Grandpa addressed Sayle: Give me your idea about this object. Sayle: Could it be our cats that lived with us at home when we were little and then turned into an iron monster? My mother, Sola, always warned me about them, telling me they weren't real cats. Grandpa: Wonderful, the transformation. 575
