    (continued from previous page)
    man, a giant by the name of Fionn Mac Cumail, came out of the forest, and offered him his help.
    Fionn caught hold of the axle on the side of the car where the wheel was broken. He told the driver to catch the horse by the head and to drive away. The man obeyed. When Fionn took a step he covered twelve feet of the road. He took another step and in this way they reached the fair without any bother. Fionn's hand acted as an axle for the wheel.
