class="sc">During</span> + the reign of good King Arthur there lived in the County of + Cornwall, near to the Land's End of England, a wealthy farmer, who + had an only son named Jack. Jack was a brisk boy, and of a ready + wit: he took great delight in hearing stories of Giants and + Fairies, and used to listen eagerly while any old woman told him + of the great deeds of the brave Knights of King Arthur's Round + Table. + </p> + + <p> + When Jack was sent to take care of the sheep and oxen in the + fields, he used to amuse himself with planning battles and sieges, + and the means to conquer or surprise a foe. He was above the + common sports of children; but hardly any one could equal him at + wrestling; or if he met with a match for himself in strength, his + skill and address always made him the victor. + </p> + + <div class="float"> + <a name="Illustration3" + id="Illustration3"></a> + <img src="./images/013.jpg" + alt="[Illustration: + The Giant cometh]" + width="350" + height="213" + title="The Giant cometh" + /> + </div> + + <p> + In those days the Mount of Cornwall was kept by a huge and + monstrous Giant, eighteen feet in height, and about three yards in + compass, of a fierce and grim countenance, the terror of all the + neighbouring towns and villages. He dwelt in a cave in the middle + of the Mount; and he was such a selfish monster that he would not + suffer any one to live near him. He fed on other men's cattle, + which often became his prey; for whensoever he wanted food, he + would wade over to the mainland, where he would furnish himself + with whatever came in his way. + </p> + + <div class="float"> + <a name="Illustration4" + id="Illustration4"></a> + <img src="./images/014.jpg" + alt="[Illustration: + Cormoran carryeth off his Booty]" + width="375" + height="550" + title="Cormoran carryeth off his Booty" + /> + </div> + + + <a name="Illustration5" + id="Illustration5"></a> + <img class="initial" + src="./images/015.jpg" + alt="[Illustration: + Panick of the Shepherd]" + width="175" + height="173" + title="Panick of the Shepherd" + /> + <p class="opening"> + <span class="sc">Panic</span> + seized the inhabitants at his approach, they forsook their + habitations, and took flight, while the Giant seized upon their + cattle, making nothing of carrying half-a-dozen oxen on his back + at a time; and as for their sheep and hogs, he would tie them by + dozens round his waist. This course he had followed for many + years, so that a great part of the county was impoverished by his + depredations. + </p> + + <p> + Jack resolved to kill this monster; and taking with him a horn, a + shovel, and a pickaxe, he went over to the Mount in the beginning + of a dark winter's evening, when he fell to work, and before + morning had dug a pit twenty-two feet deep, and nearly as broad, + and had covered it over with long sticks and straw. Then strewing + a little mould upon it, he made it appear like plain ground. Then + Jack placed the horn to his mouth, and blew with all his might + such a loud tantivy, that the Giant awoke and rushed towards Jack, + exclaiming: + </p> + + <p> + “You saucy villain, why are you come here to disturb my + rest? you shall pay dearly for this. I will take you home, and + broil you whole for my breakfast.” + </p> + + <p> + He had no sooner uttered this cruel threat, than, tumbling into + the pit, he made the very foundations of the Mount to shake. + </p> + + <p> + “Oh, oh, Mr. Giant,” said Jack, “where are you + now? do you think now of broiling me for your breakfast? will + nothing else serve you but poor Jack?” + </p> + + <p> + Thus did little Jack torment the big Giant, as a cat does a mouse + when she knows it cannot escape; and when he had tired of that + amusement, he gave the monster a heavy blow with a pickaxe on the + very crown of his head, which tumbled him down, and killed him on + the spot. When Jack saw that the Giant was dead, he filled up the + pit with earth, and went to search the cave, which he found + contained much treasure. + </p> + + <p> + Jack then made haste back to rejoice his friends with the news of + the Giant's death. + </p> + + <a name="Illustration7" + id="Illustration7"></a> + <img class="right" + src="./images/017.jpg" + alt="[Illustration: + The Justices present unto Jack a Sword and Belt]" + width="175" + height="140" + title="The Justices present unto Jack a Sword and Belt" + /> + <p> + Now, when the justices of Cornwall heard of this valiant action, + they sent for Jack, and declared that he should always be called + </p> + + <div class="verse"> + Jack the Giant Killer; + </div> + + <p class="noindent"> + and they also gave him a magnificent sword and an embroidered + belt, upon which was emblazoned, in letters of gold, + </p> + + <div class="verse"> + “This is the valiant Cornish man<br /> + Who slew the Giant Cormoran” + </div> + + <p> + The news of Jack's victory soon spread over all the west of + England; so that another Giant, named Blunderbore, hearing of it, + vowed to be revenged on Jack, if ever it was his fortune to light + on him. This Giant kept an enchanted castle, situated in the midst + of a lonely wood. + </p> + + <p> + Now Jack, about four months after his last exploit, riding near + this castle in his journey towards Wales, being weary, lay down + near a pleasant fountain in the wood, and quickly fell asleep. + Presently the Giant, coming to the fountain for water, discovered + him; and as the lines written on the belt shewed who he was, he + immediately took Jack on his shoulders, and carried him towards + his castle. Now, as they passed through a thicket, the rustling of + the boughs awakened Jack, who was terribly frightened to find + himself in the clutches of Blunderbore. Yet this was nothing to + his fright soon after; for when they reached the castle, he beheld + the floor covered all over with skulls and bones of men and women. + </p> + + <p> + The Giant took him into a large room, where lay the limbs of + persons that had been lately killed; and he told Jack, with a + horrid grin, that men's hearts, eaten with pepper and vinegar, + were his nicest food, and that he thought he should make a dainty + meal on his. When he had said this, he locked Jack up in the room, + while he went to fetch another Giant, who lived in the same wood, + to enjoy a dinner off poor Jack. + </p> + + <p> + While he was away. Jack heard dreadful shrieks, and groans, and + cries, from many parts of the castle; and soon after he heard a + mournful voice repeat these lines: + </p> + + <div class="verse"> + “Haste, valiant Stranger, haste away,<br /> + Lest you become the Giant's prey.<br /> + On his return he'll bring another<br /> + Still more savage than his brother;—<br /> + A horrid, cruel monster, who,<br /> + Before he kills, will torture you.<br /> + Oh, valiant Stranger! haste away,<br /> + Or you'll become these Giants' prey.” + </div> + + <p> + This warning was so shocking to poor Jack, that he was ready to go + mad. He ran to the window, and saw the two Giants coming along arm + in arm. This window was right over the gates of the castle. + </p> + + <p> + “Now,” thought Jack, “either my death or freedom + is at hand.” + </p> + + <p> + Now there were two strong cords in the room. Jack made a large + noose with a slip-knot at the ends of both these; and as the + Giants were coming through the iron gates, he threw the ropes over + their heads. He then made the other ends fast to a beam in the + ceiling, and pulled with all his might till he had almost + strangled them. When he saw that they were both quite black in the + face, and had not the least strength left, he drew his sword, and + slid down the ropes; he then killed the Giants, and thus saved + himself from the cruel death they meant to put him to. + </p> + + <p> + Jack next took a great bunch of keys from the pocket of + Blunderbore, and went into the castle again. He made a strict + search through all the rooms; and in them found three ladies tied + up by the hair of their heads, and almost starved to death. They + told him that their husbands had been killed by the Giants, who + had then condemned them to be starved to death, because they would + not eat the flesh of their own husbands. + </p> + + <p> + “Charming Ladies,” said Jack, “I have put an end + to the monster and his wicked brother; and I give you this castle, + and all riches that it contains, to make you some amends for the + dreadful pains you have felt.” + </p> + + <p> + He then very politely gave them the keys of the castle, and went + further in his journey to Wales. + </p> + + <a name="Illustration8" + id="Illustration8"></a> + <img class="initial" + src="./images/021.jpg" + alt="[Illustration: A Giant looketh out for Jack]" + width="175" + height="179" + title="A Giant looketh out for Jack" + /> + <p class="opening"> + <span class="sc">Caring</span> + very little for riches, Jack had not taken any of the + Giant's wealth for himself, and having but little money of his + own, he thought it best to travel as fast as he could. + </p> + + <p> + At length he lost his way; and when night came on, he was in a + valley between two lofty mountains. He thought himself lucky at + last in finding a large and handsome house. He went to it, and + knocked at the gate; when, to his surprise, there came forth a + Giant with two heads. He spoke to Jack very civilly, for he was a + Welsh Giant, and all the mischief he did was done under a show of + friendship. Jack told him he was a benighted traveller, when the + monster bade Jack welcome, and led him into a room where he could + pass the night. But though he was weary he could not sleep, for he + heard the Giant walking backward and forward in the next room, + saying, + </p> + + <div class="verse"> + “Though here you lodge with me this night,<br /> + You shall not see the morning-light;<br /> + My club shall dash your brains out quite.” + </div> + + <p> + “Say you so?” quoth Jack; “that is like one of + your Welsh tricks.” + </p> + + <p> + Then getting out of bed, Jack groped about the room, and at last + found a billet of wood; he laid it in his place in the bed, and + hid himself in a corner of the room. In the middle of the night + the Giant came with his great club, and struck many heavy blows on + the bed, in the very place where Jack had laid the billet; and + then went to his own room, thinking he had broken all Jack's + bones. + </p> + + <div class="float"> + <a name="Illustration9" + id="Illustration9"></a> + <img src="./images/023.jpg" + alt="[Illustration: + The deceitful Civility of the Welsh Giant]" + width="375" + height="550" + title="The deceitful Civility of the Welsh Giant" + /> + </div> + + <p> + Early in the morning Jack walked into the Giant's room to thank + him for his lodging. The Giant started when he saw him, and began + to stammer out,— + </p> + + <p> + “Pray, how did you sleep last night?

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/15621-h/images/005.jpg b/15621-h/images/005.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index

Jack was a brisk boy, and of a ready wit: he +took great delight in hearing stories of Giants and Fairies, and used +to listen eagerly while any old woman told him of the great deeds of +the brave Knights of King Arthur's Round Table. + +When Jack was sent to take care of the sheep and oxen in the fields, +he used to amuse himself with planning battles and sieges, and the +means to conquer or surprise a foe. He was above the common sports of +children; but hardly any one could equal him at wrestling; or if he +met with a match for himself in strength, his skill and address always +made him the victor. + +[Illustration: The Giant cometh] + +In those days the Mount of Cornwall was kept by a huge and monstrous +Giant, eighteen feet in height, and about three yards in compass, of a +fierce and grim countenance, the terror of all the neighbouring towns +and villages. He dwelt in a cave in the middle of the Mount; and he +was such a selfish monster that he would not suffer any one to live +near him. He fed on other men's cattle, which often became his prey; +for whensoever he wanted food, he would wade over to the mainland, +where he would furnish himself with whatever came in his way. + +[Illustration: Cormoran carryeth off his Booty] + +[Illustration: Panick of the Shepherd. _Initial_] + +Panic seized the inhabitants at his approach, they forsook their +habitations, and took flight, while the Giant seized upon their +cattle, making nothing of carrying half-a-dozen oxen on his back at +a time; and as for their sheep and hogs, he would tie them by dozens +round his waist. This course he had followed for many years, so that +a great part of the county was impoverished by his depredations. + +Jack resolved to kill this monster; and taking with him a horn, a +shovel, and a pickaxe, he went over to the Mount in the beginning of +a dark winter's evening, when he fell to work, and before morning had +dug a pit twenty-two feet deep, and nearly as broad, and had covered +it over with long sticks and straw. Then strewing a little mould upon +it, he made it appear like plain ground. Then Jack placed the horn to +his mouth, and blew with all his might such a loud tantivy, that the +Giant awoke and rushed towards Jack, exclaiming: + +"You saucy villain, why are you come here to disturb my rest? you +shall pay dearly for this. I will take you home, and broil you whole +for my breakfast." + +He had no sooner uttered this cruel threat, than, tumbling into the +pit, he made the very foundations of the Mount to shake. + +"Oh, oh, Mr. Giant," said Jack, "where are you now? do you think now +of broiling me for your breakfast? will nothing else serve you but +poor Jack?" + +Thus did little Jack torment the big Giant, as a cat does a mouse when +she knows it cannot escape; and when he had tired of that amusement, +he gave the monster a heavy blow with a pickaxe on the very crown of +his head, which tumbled him down, and killed him on the spot. When +Jack saw that the Giant was dead, he filled up the pit with earth, and +went to search the cave, which he found contained much treasure. + +Jack then made haste back to rejoice his friends with the news of the +Giant's death. + +[Illustration: The Justices present unto Jack a Sword and Belt] + +Now, when the justices of Cornwall heard of this valiant action, they +sent for Jack, and declared that he should always be called + + _Jack the Giant Killer_; + +and they also gave him a magnificent sword and an embroidered belt, +upon which was emblazoned, in letters of gold, + + "_This is the valiant Cornish man + Who slew the Giant Cormoran_" + +The news of Jack's victory soon spread over all the west of England; +so that another Giant, named Blunderbore, hearing of it, vowed to be +revenged on Jack, if ever it was his fortune to light on him. This +Giant kept an enchanted castle, situated in the midst of a lonely +wood. + +Now Jack, about four months after his last exploit, riding near this +castle in his journey towards Wales, being weary, lay down near a +pleasant fountain in the wood, and quickly fell asleep. Presently the +Giant, coming to the fountain for water, discovered him; and as the +lines written on the belt shewed who he was, he immediately took Jack +on his shoulders, and carried him towards his castle. Now, as they +passed through a thicket, the rustling of the boughs awakened Jack, +who was terribly frightened to find himself in the clutches of +Blunderbore. Yet this was nothing to his fright soon after; for when +they reached the castle, he beheld the floor covered all over with +skulls and bones of men and women. + +The Giant took him into a large room, where lay the limbs of persons +that had been lately killed; and he told Jack, with a horrid grin, +that men's hearts, eaten with pepper and vinegar, were his nicest +food, and that he thought he should make a dainty meal on his. When he +had said this, he locked Jack up in the room, while he went to fetch +another Giant, who lived in the same wood, to enjoy a dinner off poor +Jack. + +While he was away. Jack heard dreadful shrieks, and groans, and cries, +from many parts of the castle; and soon after he heard a mournful +voice repeat these lines: + + "_Haste, valiant Stranger, haste away, + Lest you become the Giant's prey. + On his return he'll bring another + Still more savage than his brother;-- + A horrid, cruel monster, who, + Before he kills, will torture you. + Oh, valiant Stranger! haste away, + Or you'll become these Giants' prey._" + +This warning was so shocking to poor Jack, that he was ready to go +mad. He ran to the window, and saw the two Giants coming along arm in +arm. This window was right over the gates of the castle. + +"Now," thought Jack, "either my death or freedom is at hand." + +Now there were two strong cords in the room. Jack made a large noose +with a slip-knot at the ends of both these; and as the Giants were +coming through the iron gates, he threw the ropes over their heads. +He then made the other ends fast to a beam in the ceiling, and pulled +with all his might till he had almost strangled them. When he saw that +they were both quite black in the face, and had not the least strength +left, he drew his sword, and slid down the ropes; he then killed the +Giants, and thus saved himself from the cruel death they meant to put +him to. + +Jack next took a great bunch of keys from the pocket of Blunderbore, +and went into the castle again. He made a strict search through all +the rooms; and in them found three ladies tied up by the hair of their +heads, and almost starved to death. They told him that their husbands +had been killed by the Giants, who had then condemned them to be +starved to death, because they would not eat the flesh of their own +husbands. + +"Charming Ladies," said Jack, "I have put an end to the monster and +his wicked brother; and I give you this castle, and all riches that +it contains, to make you some amends for the dreadful pains you have +felt." + +He then very politely gave them the keys of the castle, and went +further in his journey to Wales. + +[Illustration: A Giant looketh out for Jack. _Initial_] + +Caring very little for riches, Jack had not taken any of the Giant's +wealth for himself, and having but little money of his own, he thought +it best to travel as fast as he could. + +At length he lost his way; and when night came on, he was in a valley +between two lofty mountains. He thought himself lucky at last in +finding a large and handsome house. He went to it, and knocked at the +gate; when, to his surprise, there came forth a Giant with two heads. +He spoke to Jack very civilly, for he was a Welsh Giant, and all the +mischief he did was done under a show of friendship. Jack told him he +was a benighted traveller, when the monster bade Jack welcome, and led +him into a room where he could pass the night. But though he was weary +he could not sleep, for he heard the Giant walking backward and +forward in the next room, saying, + + "_Though here you lodge with me this night, + You shall not see the morning-light; + My club shall dash your brains out quite_." + +"Say you so?" quoth Jack; "that is like one of your Welsh tricks." + +Then getting out of bed, Jack groped about the room, and at last found +a billet of wood; he laid it in his place in the bed, and hid himself +in a corner of the room. In the middle of the night the Giant came +with his great club, and struck many heavy blows on the bed, in the +very place where Jack had laid the billet; and then went to his own +room, thinking he had broken all Jack's bones. + +[Illustration: The deceitful Civility of the Welsh Giant] + +Early in the morning Jack walked into the Giant's room to thank him +for his lodging. The Giant started when he saw him, and began to +stammer out,-- + +"Pray, how did you sleep last night? Did you hear or see any thing in +the dead of the night?" + +"Nothing worth speaking of," said Jack, carelessly; "a rat, I believe, +gave me three or four flaps with its tail, but I soon went to sleep +again." + +[Illustration: He partaketh of his Pudding with Jack] + +The Giant did not answer a word, but brought in two bowls of +hasty-pudding for their breakfasts. Jack wanted to make the Giant +believe that he could eat as much as himself, so he contrived to +button a leathern bag inside his coat, and slipped the pudding into +the bag instead of his mouth. + +When breakfast was over, he said to the Giant, "I will shew you a fine +trick: I could cut my head off one minute, and put it on sound the +next. But see here!" + +He then took a knife, ripped up the bag, and all the pudding fell on +the floor. + +"Odds splutter hur nails," cried the Giant, who was ashamed to be +outdone by Jack, "hur can do that hurself!" + +So he snatched up the knife, plunged it into his stomach, and in a +moment dropped down dead. + +Jack having thus outwitted the monster, went further on his journey. + + + + +PART THE SECOND. + + +[Illustration: Jack measureth with the Legs of a Giant. _Initial_] + +Jack travelled on until he met with King Arthur's only son, who was +seeking all through Wales for a very beautiful lady that was +enchanted. Jack asked leave to be the Prince's attendant, and the +Prince granted his request. + +After a long day's journey, when night drew on, the Prince was anxious +to secure a lodging, but they had no means to hire one, for both the +Prince and Jack had spent all their money; but Jack said,-- + +"Never mind, master, we shall do well enough, for I have an uncle who +lives within two miles of this place; he is a huge and monstrous +Giant, with three heads; he'll fight five hundred men in armour, and +make them flee before him." + +[Illustration: Jack alarmeth his Three-headed Uncle] + +"Alas!" quoth the Prince, "what shall we do there? he'll certainly +chop us up at a mouthful. Nay, we are scarce enough to fill his hollow +tooth." + +"It is no matter for that," quoth Jack; "I myself will go before, and +prepare the way for you; therefore tarry and wait till I return." + +Jack then rode off full speed, and coming to the gate of the castle, +he knocked so loud that the echo from the neighbouring hills resounded +like thunder. + +The Giant, terribly vexed, roared out, "Who's there?" + +"None but your poor cousin Jack," answered he. + +"What news with my poor cousin Jack?" + +He replied, "Dear uncle, heavy news." + +"God wot," quoth the Giant, "prithee what heavy news can come to me? +I am a Giant with three heads; and besides, though knowest I can fight +five hundred men in armour, and make them fly like chaff before the +wind." + +"Oh, but," quoth Jack, "here's the Prince a-coming, with a thousand +men in armour, to kill you, and destroy all that you have!" + +"Oh, cousin Jack," said the Giant, "this is heavy news indeed! I will +immediately run and hide myself, and thou shalt lock, bolt, and bar me +in, and keep the keys till the Prince is gone." + +Jack joyfully complied with the Giant's request; and fetching his +master, they feasted and made themselves merry, whilst the poor Giant +lay trembling in a vault underground. + +In the morning, Jack furnished the Prince with a fresh supply of gold +and silver, and then sent him three miles forward on his journey, as +he would then be pretty well out of the smell of the Giant. Jack then +returned, and liberated the Giant from the vault, who asked what he +should give him for saving the castle. + +"Why," quoth Jack, "I desire nothing but the old coat and cap, +together with the old rusty sword and slippers which are at your bed's +head." + +Quoth the Giant, "Thou shaft have them; and pray keep them for my +sake, for they are things of excellent use: the coat will keep you +invisible, the cap will furnish you with knowledge, the sword cuts +asunder whatever you strike, and the shoes are of extraordinary +swiftness. These may be serviceable to you: therefore take them, with +all my heart." + +They soon arrived at the dwelling of the beautiful lady, who was under +the power of a wicked Magician. She received the Prince with fair +words, and made a noble feast for him; when it was ended, she arose, +and wiping her mouth with a fine handkerchief, said, "My Lord, you +must shew me this handkerchief to-morrow, or lose your head." She then +went out of the room, taking the handkerchief with her. + +The Prince went to bed right sorrowful; but Jack put on his cap of +knowledge, which told him that the lady was forced, by the power of +the enchantment, to meet the wicked Magician every night in a forest. +Jack now put on his coat of darkness and his shoes of swiftness, and +went to the forest, where he saw the lady give the handkerchief to +the Magician, Whereupon Jack; who was surrounded by a host of evil +spirits, with his sword of sharpness, at one blow cut off his head, +and regained the handkerchief for the Prince; the enchantment was +ended in a moment and the lady restored to her virtue and goodness. + +[Illustration: Jack delivereth the Lady from the Enchanter] + +She returned with the Prince to the court of King Arthur, where they +were received with welcome; and the valiant Jack was made one of the +Knights of the Round Table. + +[Illustration: Jack is dubbed a Knight by King Arthur] + + + + +PART THE THIRD. + + +[Illustration: He is accourted by Ladies. _Initial_] + +Jack resolved not to live in idleness for the future, but to do what +services he could for the honour of the king and the nation. He +therefore humbly besought King Arthur to furnish him with a horse and +money, that he might travel in search of new and strange exploits. +"For," said he to the King, "there are many Giants yet among the +mountains of Wales, and they oppress the people: therefore, if it +please you, Sire, to favour my designs, I will soon rid your kingdom +of these Giants and monsters." + +When the King heard this offer, and thought of the cruel deeds of +these bloodthirsty Giants and savage monsters, he gave Jack every +thing proper for such a journey. + +[Illustration: He discovereth a Giant above the Trees] + +Thereupon Jack took leave of the King, the Prince, and all the +Knights of the Round Table, and set off. He went along over hills and +mountains, until he came to a large forest, through which his road +lay. On a sudden he heard piercing shrieks. He forced his way through +the trees, and saw a huge Giant, thirty-five feet high, dragging along +by the hair of their heads a Knight and his beautiful Lady, one in +each hand, with as much ease as if they had been a pair of gloves. +Jack shed tears at such a sight, and alighting from his horse, and +tying him to an oak, put on his invisible coat, under which he carried +his sword of sharpness. + +[Illustration: Jack slayeth the Giant, + and delivereth a Knight and his Lady] + +When he came up to the Giant, he made many strokes at him, but could +not reach his body, on account of his great height. Still, he wounded +his ankles in many places: at last, putting both hands to his sword, +and aiming with all his might, he cut off both the Giant's legs below +the garter; so that his body tumbled to the ground. + +[Illustration: Jack setteth his foot on the Giant's neck. _Initial_] + +Jack then set one foot upon his neck, and cried out, "Thou cruel +wretch! behold I give thee the just reward of thy crimes." And so +plunging his sword into the Giant's body, the monster gave a loud +groan and yielded up his life; while the noble Knight and his Lady +were joyful at their deliverance. They heartily thanked Jack for what +he had done, and invited him to their house to refresh himself. + +"No," said Jack, "I cannot be at ease till I find out this monster's +dwelling." + +The Knight, hearing this, grew sad, and replied, "Noble stranger, it +is too much to run a second hazard. This monster lived in a den under +yonder mountain, with a brother of his, more fierce and cruel than +himself: therefore, if you should go thither and perish in the attempt +to overthrow this wicked brother, it would be heart-breaking to me and +my lady; so let me persuade you to go with us, and desist from any +farther pursuit." + +"Nay," said Jack, "even if there were twenty, I would shed the last +drop of my blood before one of them should escape me. When I have done +this task, I will return and visit you." + +Jack had not rode a mile and a half before he came in sight of the +mouth of the cavern; and nigh the entrance of it he beheld the other +Giant sitting on a huge rock, with a knotted iron club in his hand, +waiting for his brother. His eyes flashed like flames of fire, his +face was grim, and his cheeks seemed like two flitches of bacon; the +bristles of his beard were as thick rods of iron wire; and his locks +of hair hung down like curling snakes. Jack alighted from his horse, +and turned him into a thicket; then he put on his invisible coat, and +drew a little nearer, to behold this figure; and said softly, "O +monster, are you there! it will not be long before I shall take you +fast by the beard." + +[Illustration: The Giant's Brother awaiteth his return] + +The Giant, all this while, could not see him, by reason of his +invisible coat: then Jack came quite close to him, and struck a blow +at his head with his sword of sharpness; but, missing his aim, only +cut off his nose, whilst the Giant roared like loud claps of thunder. +And though he rolled his glaring eyes round on every side, he could +not see who had given him the blow; yet he took up his iron club, and +began to lay about him like one that was mad. + +"Nay," said Jack, "if this is the case, I will kill you at once." +So he slipped nimbly behind him, and jumping upon the rocky seat +as the Giant rose from it, he thrust his sword up to the hilt in +his body. After a hideous howling, the Giant dropped down dead. + +When Jack had thus killed these two monsters, he searched their cave +for treasure. He passed through many dark windings, which led him to +a room paved with freestone; at the end of it was a boiling cauldron, +and on the right hand stood a large table, where the Giants used to +dine. He then came to a window secured with iron bars, through which +he saw a number of wretched captives, who cried out, when they saw +Jack, "Alas! alas! young man, are you come to be one among us in this +horrid den?" + +[Illustration: The Knight and his Lady thank + Jack for their delivery] + +"I hope," said Jack, "you will not tarry here long but pray tell me, +what is the meaning of your captivity?" + +[Illustration: Jack releaseth the captive Ladies] + +"Alas!" said one, "we have been taken by the Giants that hold this +cave, and are kept till they have a feast; then the fattest of us is +killed and cooked. It is not long since they took three for this +purpose." + +"Say you so?" said Jack; "I have given them such a dinner that it will +be long enough before they want more." The captives were amazed at his +words. "You may believe me," said Jack; "for I have slain both the +monsters, and sent their heads in a wagon to King Arthur, as trophies +of my victory." + +To shew them that what he said was true, he unlocked the gate, and set +them all free. Then he led them to the great room, where they feasted +plentifully. Supper being over, they searched the Giant's coffers, and +Jack shared the store among the captives. Jack started at sunrise to +the house of the Knight, whom he had left not long before. + +[Illustration: _Initial_] + +Presently Jack reached the Knight's castle, where he was received with +the greatest joy. In honour of the hero's exploits, a grand feast was +given, which lasted many days. The Knight also presented Jack with a +beautiful ring, on which was engraved the Giant dragging the knight +and the lady by the hair, with this motto: + + "_We were in sad distress, you see, + Under the Giant's fierce command, + But gained our lives and liberty + By valiant Jack's victorious hand._" + +Among the guests present at the feast were fire aged gentlemen, who +were fathers to some of those captives who had been freed by Jack from +the dungeon. These old men pressed round him with tears of joy, and +returned him thanks. One day the bowl went round merrily, and every +one drank to the health and long life of the gallant hero. The hall +resounded with peals of laughter and joyful cries. + +[Illustration: A pale Herald interrupteth the Feast] + +But, lo! to the midst, a herald, pale and breathless with haste and +terror, rushed in, and told the company, that Thundel, a Giant with an +immense head, having heard of the death of his two kinsmen, was come +to take revenge on Jack, and that he was now near the house, and the +country-people all flying before him. + +At this dismal news, the very boldest of the guests trembled; but Jack +drew his sword, and said, "Let him come; I have a tool to pick his +teeth with. Pray, ladies and gentlemen, walk into the garden, and you +shall joyfully behold the Giant's defeat and death." + +The knight's castle was surrounded by a moat, thirty feet deep and +twenty wide, over which lay a drawbridge. Jack set men to work, to cut +the bridge on both sides, near the middle; and then dressing himself +in his invisible coat, went against the Giant with his sword of +sharpness. As he came close to him, though the Giant could not see +him, yet he cried out,-- + + "_Fie! foh! fum! + I smell the blood of an Englishman; + Be he alive or be he dead, + I'll grind his bones to make my bread._" + +"Say you so, my friend?" said Jack; "you are a clever miller indeed!" + +"Art thou," cried the Giant, "the villain who killed my kinsmen? Then +I will tear thee with my teeth, and grind thy bones to powder." + +"You must catch me first," said Jack; and throwing off his invisible +coat, he put on his shoes of swiftness, and began to run; the Giant +following him like a walking castle, making the earth shake at every +step. + +[Illustration: The Stratagem of Jack with the Giant Thundel] + +Jack led him round and round the walls of the castle, that the company +might see the monster; and to finish the work. Jack ran over the +drawbridge, the Giant going after him with his club: but when the +Giant came to the middle, where the bridge had been cut on both sides, +the great weight of his body made it break, and he tumbled into the +water, where he rolled about like a large whale. Jack now stood by the +side of the moat, and laughed and jeered at him, saying, + +"I think you told me you would grind my bones to powder; when will you +begin?" + +[Illustration: Jack maketh sport of Him, + and draggeth Him out of the Moat] + +[Illustration: Jack maketh sport of Him, + and draggeth Him out of the Moat] + +The Giant foamed horridly at the mouth with fury, and plunged from +side to side of the moat; but he could not get out to have revenge on +his little foe. At last Jack ordered a cart-rope to be brought to him; +he then drew it over his great head, and by the help of a team of +horses, dragged him to the edge of the moat, where he cut off the +monster's head; and before he either ate or drank, he sent it to the +court of King Arthur. He then went back to the table with the company, +and the rest of the day was spent in mirth and good cheer. + +[Illustration: His Head goeth to Court] + + + + +PART THE FOURTH. + + +[Illustration: The Lady of the Knight. _Initial_] + +Courted and flattered as he was, yet after staying with the Knight and +his lady for some time, Jack grew weary of such an idle life, and set +out again in search of new adventures. He went over hills and dales +without meeting any, till he came to the foot of a very high mountain. +Here he knocked at the door of a small and lonely house, and an old +man, with a head as white as snow, let him in. + +"Good father," said Jack, "can you lodge a traveller who has lost his +way?" + +"Yes," said the hermit, "I can, if you will accept such fare as my +poor house affords." + +Jack entered, and the old man set before him some bread and fruit for +his supper. When Jack had eaten as much as he chose, the hermit +said,-- + +"My son, I know you are the famous conqueror of Giants; now, at the +top of this mountain is an enchanted Castle, kept by a Giant named +Galligantus, who, by the help of a vile Magician, gets many knights +and ladies into his Castle, where he changes them into the shape of +beasts. Above all, I lament the hard fate of a duke's daughter, whom +they seized as she was walking in her father's garden, and brought +hither through the air in a chariot drawn by two fiery dragons, and +turned her into the shape of a deer. Many knights have tried to +destroy the enchantment, and deliver her; yet none have been able to +do it, by reason of two fiery Griffins, who guard the gate of the +Castle, and destroy all who come nigh: but as you, my son, have an +invisible coat, you may pass by them without being seen; and on the +gates of the Castle you will find engraved by what means the +enchantment may be broken." + +[Illustration: The Giant Galligantus] + +Jack promised that, in the morning, at the risk of his life, he would +break the enchantment; and, after a sound sleep, he arose early, put +on his invisible coat, and got ready for the attempt. When he had +climbed to the top of the mountain, he saw the two fiery Griffins; +but he passed between them without the least fear of danger, for they +could not see him because of his invisible coat. On the Castle-gate +hung a golden trumpet, under which were these lines:-- + + "_Whoever doth this Trumpet blow, + Shall cause the Giant's overthrow!_" + +[Illustration: Jack passeth the Fiery Griffins] + +[Illustration: Destruction of Galligantus] + +As soon as Jack had read this, he seized the trumpet, and blew a +shrill blast, which made the gates fly open, and the very Castle +itself tremble. The Giant and the Conjuror now knew that their wicked +course was at an end, and they stood biting their thumbs, and shaking +with fear. Jack, with his sword of sharpness, soon killed the Giant; +and the Magician was then carried away by a whirlwind; and every +knight and beautiful lady, who had been changed into birds and beasts, +returned to their proper shapes. The Castle vanished away like smoke, +and the head of the Giant Galligantus was sent to King Arthur. The +knights and ladies rested that night at he old man's hermitage, and +next day set out for the Court. + +[Illustration: Jack goeth with Company to Court] + +Jack then went up to the King, and gave his majesty an account of all +his fierce battles. Jack's fame had spread through the whole country; +and, at the King's desire, the Duke gave him his daughter in marriage, +to the joy of all the kingdom. After this, the King gave Jack a large +estate, on which he and his lady lived the rest of their days in joy +and content. + +[Illustration: Jack slaketh his Thirst at the end of his Labours] + + +Robson, Levey, and Franklyn, Great New Street, Fetter Lane. + + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's The Story of Jack and the Giants, by Anonymous + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE STORY OF JACK AND THE GIANTS *** + +***** This file should be named 15621.txt or 15621.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/5/6/2/15621/ + +Produced by University of Florida Childrens Library, Shui Ming Ho +and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/15621.zip b/15621.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d230ef6 --- /dev/null +++ b/15621.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
