  2. A giant is supposed to be thirty feet in height who could lift a house and pull a tree out of the ground and make every one afraid of him. There was a giant living in a castle, every day he used come out and eat men, women and children. One day two brave men named Mark Fagan and Antony Marston one disguised as a bear and the other as a tiger, when they got near the giant they jumped at him and killed him.
