  1. A Story about a Giant

    Share Share Post
    Long ago a giant lived in a cave at the foot of a hill. Any stranger that would come around the hill he would kill them. One day, while the giant was out, this man came to the cave. He went in and lit a candle. Then he hid in a tree over the cave. When the giant came back he was very vexed. He went into the cave and quenched the candle. The man came down off the tree and stood outside the cave. When the giant came out, the man fought with him and after a long time he killed the giant.
