- Hmm, what do we have here? Looks like another poem.
- This time our speaker ("he") gives us an important lesson about stories. Stories are more than just entertainment—they're actually weapons for fighting off evil.
- Evildoers try to destroy the stories and leave people defenseless.
- But don't worry, the speaker says. He keeps the stories in his belly for safekeeping. Go ahead, touch his belly—you can feel the stories.
- The last stanza (or section) of this poem is intriguing. It says that, within this story, "the rituals and the ceremony are still growing." Huh. We wonder what rituals and ceremony he's referring to.
