Question

Theodore the Brave
There once lived a man in Avendore—
a hero for everyone to adore,
a friend of the weak and the poor,
the great and brave man Theodore.
5 Once he heard a woman wail
outside her hut she seemed pale,
“My child is sick and small and frail
The monster took her! How I ail!”
Theodore took out his sword,
10 every cave then he explored.
Then, he heard an infant weep
across the river wide and deep.
He saw the monster fast asleep.
He saw the child slowly peep
15 at Theodore swimming silently,
his sword shining gallantly.
Theodore hung from a tree
and plucked from the monster’s clasp
the wet and shivering baby
20 who almost slipped from his grasp.
The infant cried, clung fiercely
as Theodore swung from tree to tree.
The monster roared piercingly
but the child was safe and free.
25 And everyone in Avendore
sang praises of Theodore.
He lived for long years many more
a hero like no one before.
