    battle they fought was with two Turks, and the dwarf who was very brave dealt with one of the champions he struck one of them a heavy blow but it did no injury, but the Turk lifting up his sword, he fairly struck of the dwarf's arm.
    He was now in a bad way, but the giant coming to his assistance, in a short time left the two Turks dead on the plain. Then they travelled on to another adventure.
