as the place where the tailor was in hiding up above, and a man of them
struck a blow of his sledge on the place where he was. The tailor
threw down the stone, and it fell on him and killed him. They went home
then and left all of the court that was remaining without throwing it
down, since a man of themselves was dead.

The tradespeople came again the next day, and they were working until
night, and as they were going home the tailor told them to put up the
big stone on the top of the work, as it had been the night before.
They did that for him, went home, and the tailor went in hiding the
same as he did the evening before.

When the people had all gone to rest, the two giants came, and they
were throwing down all that was before them, and as soon as they began,
they put two shouts out of them. The tailor was going on manoeuvring
until he threw down the great stone, and it fell upon the skull of the
giant that was under him, and it killed him. There was only the one
giant left in it then, and he never came again until the court was
finished.

Then when the work was over, the tailor went to the king and told him
to give him his wife and his money, as he had the court finished; and
the king said he would not give him any wife until he would kill the
other giant, for he said that it was not by his strength he killed the
two giants before that, and that he would give him nothing now until he
killed the other one for him. Then the tailor said that he would kill
the other giant for him, and welcome; that there was no delay at all
about that.

The tailor went then till he came to the place where the other giant
was, and asked did he want a servant-boy. The giant said he did want
one, if he could get one who would do everything that he would do
himself.

"Anything that you will do, I will do it," said the tailor.

They went to their dinner then, and when they had it eaten, the giant
asked the tailor "would it come with him to swallow as much broth as
himself, up out of its boiling." The tailor said, "It will come with
me to do that, but that you must give me an hour before we begin on
it." The tailor went out then, and he got a sheep-skin, and he sewed
it up till he made a bag of it, and he slipped it down under his coat.
He came in then and said to the giant to drink a gallon of the broth
himself first. The giant drank that up out of its boiling. "I'll do
that," said the tailor. He was going on until he had it
