- (continued from previous page)inside very long when he heard the terrible giant coming in. The little dwarf went under the thimble that his sister had. When the giant came in he fell fast asleep, the little dwarf jumped down and ran for the axe and cut the head off the giant. Then he searched around and in a room he found his two other sisters, "and "they locked" in". He went to his father (that's the king) and brought him to the castle; The little dwarf got a spear and stuck the giant's head to it, then he stuck the spear in the castle and wrote on it, "the little dwarf who lived in the cradle for seven years killed the giant of Killarney" and the little dwarf grew to be a big man after.
