  1. One day two giants met at the side of a big rock and each of them lifted a big handful out of it. The hole which was left filled up with water and became a big lake. Each one of them said that it was his handful that made the lake and they began to fight. One of them killed the other. When he had him killed he threw him up in the air and he fell down on a small house and knocked it.
