    A lot of people came running with the heads to claim that it was they killed the giants, and should therefore have the king's daughter in marriage. SiSeoigin went to the king and asked him about it. "I am not the man who killed them unless their tongues are gone, and these are the right ones" said SiSeoigin. The heads were examined and the tongues were gone, and the tongues SiSeoigin had fitted to the mark . SiSeoigin got all the king promised.
