[XSL 1.0] How to use apply-templates to process a sub

 [XSL 1.0] How to use apply-templates to process a  sub
This is a real basic question, I think, but I can't get my head around it.
Given this XML:

<root>
	<story>
		<Head>This is the title</Head>
		<Body>This is the body <Big>some of it is bold</Big> and some isn't</Body>
		<Body>This is some more body text.</Body>
	</story>
</root>

And this XSL:

<xsl:stylesheet>
    <xsl:template match="/">
	<html>
            <body>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="Root" />
            </body>
        </html>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="Head">
        <h1><xsl:value-of select="."/></h1>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="Body">
        <p><xsl:value-of select="."/></p>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="Big">
        <bold><xsl:value-of select="."/></bold>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I'm trying to convert the XML to HTML with XSL. I've got it all figured out
and working, except for the <Big> text. I don't understand how to recursively
get to the <Big> element when it is a sub-element of <Body>. All the examples
I've read about in all my books expect the XML to be:

<Body>
	<Big>text here</Big>
</Body>

But this is a different structure, where the <Big> element is in the middle of
the Body element.

Can anyone shed some light on how I get to the <Big> element with
apply-templates?

Thanks!
