- There was once upon a time a very old giant and he came to Ireland. He said that he would do something awful. He carried a stone about with him wherever he went. This stone was about ten stones in weight. He met a man on the road to whom he told stories. A lot of people gathered round to hear the stories. He killed one of the men with the big stone, and then the other men killed him.
