    the night that this happened.
    The giant did'nt see the grave and he fell into it and he could'nt get out because his head was in the grave and his legs out of it and there was another man going through the churchyard and he heard the giant roaring and he went to the grave and he began to shovel the clay in on top of the giant and he saw the giant's leg and the giant told him to try and pull him out and the man tried and instead of pulling the giant out he fell in himself and the two were in the grave until the next day and one man pulled up the man and it took a lot of people to take up the giant with ropes.
