- (continued from previous page)said to Tom if you don't eat as much as me I will kill you. Tom got a cow's skin and he put it around himself. The two of them started to eat and Tom put all the food inside the skin. At last the giant had enough eaten but Tom had more eaten than him. Then Tom said to him that he could let it all out again. So he got a big knife and he cut the skin and all the food fell out again. Then the giant tried the same thing and he cut his stomach and he fell dead, and then Tom got the reward.
