    the kings army had to mount on the back of the giants horse and thus they were brought to Ireland.
    There lived in the north of Ireland two huge giants. One day those two giants were competing with each other in a race. They started together in the morning and when they had half the rave run one of the giants stopped by the roadside to pick some blackberries. The other giant remained running. The first giant began to run again ahe he ran past the other giant. There are many tales told about the Fianna.
