- Once upon a time there lived a very cruel giant and the people could not get rid of him. He lived to be a very old man doing a lot of harm to the people. But at last he died. When he was buried his people put a bottle of water over his grave and whoever would drink three drops out of this bottle the giant would appear. One day a man came and said he would try it. He took the first drop and when he had the second drop taken the ground began to shake for miles round. The man got afraid and fled from the field.
