    I want Philip. He lead Robin into an room where there was a lot of children like Philip. the giant said "You will have to pick out Philip and you only one chance. All the children began to laugh. Robin heard his name called softly and he picked a boy. The children shouted, "This is Philip." Robin ran with Philip and when he got out he saw the castle falling. All the other children came safe but the giant came safe.
