+
+THE FIVE GIANTS.
+
+
+When I was a boy, few things pleased me better than to hear a tale about
+a giant. Silly and untrue as were the stories that I heard, they vastly
+delighted me; but were you now to ask what information they gave me, or
+what good I gathered from them, sadly should I be at fault for a reply.
+
+But if a tale about giants, that was not true, and that added nothing
+to my knowledge, amused me, why should not a story about giants, which
+is true, and which gives good information, be equally entertaining to
+you? I see no reason why it should not be so, and therefore it is my
+determination to tell you the tale of the Five Giants.
+
+Three of the five giants are old, so very old that you would hardly
+believe me were I to tell you their ages; and the other two are much
+older than many people imagine; but, notwithstanding the great age of
+these giants, their strength is not in the least impaired. They can
+travel as fast and do quite as much work as they ever did in their
+youthful days.
+
+By and by you shall know the real names of these five giants; but it
+will answer my purpose better, and give you, perhaps, quite as much
+entertainment, if, at first, I name them according to my fancy. The
+three old giants, Flare, Roar, and Blow, are known in every part of the
+world; but the two younger, Bounce and Rush, have not, as yet, traveled
+quite as far as their brothers. For the most part, all five of them are
+useful characters; but if once they are in a passion, and this is too
+often the case, the sooner you are out of their way the better.
+
+Giant Flare is somewhat yellow in complexion, with red hair, and has
+many good and companionable qualities; indeed, in the winter, when
+people like to gather round the friendly hearth, he is one of the most
+agreeable creatures in the world. No wonder, then, that he should be so
+much sought after. He is invited by the prince and the peasant, and
+accepts the invitation of both freely, so that on the same day he is to
+be seen in the poorest cot and the proudest palace.
+
+But besides his companionable qualities, Giant Flare is a capital cook,
+so much so, that he has been employed by all the crowned heads in all
+the quarters of the world. He is very useful in mining operations, and
+in smelting ore; and then, as a manufacturer, he is quite at home, being
+equally skilled in making a copper saucepan, a brass warming-pan, a
+silver snuff-box, and a golden sovereign.
+
+You will begin to think well of Giant Flare; but truth is truth, and, as
+I told you, all the five giants are sad fellows when in a passion. Giant
+Flare has many a time burst out into a perfect frenzy, and done
+mischief that could never be repaired. If he is not used well, he thinks
+nothing of burning a person's house down. He has been the means of
+destroying many fine forests, and, on one occasion, when in London, to
+his disgrace be it spoken, with the assistance of one of his brothers,
+Giant Blow, he set almost a hundred churches and as many as thirteen
+thousand houses all in a blaze.
+
+When Bonaparte set out to conquer Russia, Giant Flare resisted him, and
+would not let him go further than Moscow; and when the Spanish Armada
+invaded England, he boldly attacked the Spanish ships, and was one of
+the principal means of scattering and putting them to flight. But now
+let me tell you of Giant Roar.
+
+This giant is about the same age as his brother of whom I have said so
+much, and, like him, has done both kind and ill-natured deeds in his
+time. He is fond of constructing baths, and fishing ponds, and canals,
+and of rendering assistance in cultivating gardens. He is largely
+connected with ships and sailors. Many think he has more power by sea
+than by land; but some of his mad pranks will surprise you.
+
+A long time after the Thames Tunnel was begun, under the river at
+London, and when thousands and tens of thousands of pounds had been
+spent, in an angry mood he set his foot against the bottom of the
+river, and crushed the in tunnel. Since then he has behaved better, and
+allowed them to finish the work; but, for a time, this prank of his
+occasioned great confusion.
+
+I have seen him myself, in his tantrums, play terrible tricks; I once
+met him at the Falls of Niagara, where he roared like a Bedlamite,
+foamed at the mouth worse than a mad dog, and at last flung himself
+headlong from so high a precipice that he was dashed into a thousand
+pieces. Whether the Americans and Canadians had used him ill, or not, I
+will not say, but certain it was, that his rage appeared unbounded.
+
+You will think that what I have already said of Giant Roar is bad
+enough; but on one occasion he was even yet more ungovernable, for
+rushing abroad in his fury, he destroyed more lives than ever had been
+destroyed at one time since the world had been made. Many of his
+victims struggled hard with him to the utmost; but he came upon them by
+surprise, and they were neither swift enough to escape, nor strong
+enough to resist him.
+
+Giant Blow is kind, whimsical, mischievous, and dangerous, by fits. One
+day, as I went by the common, he was good-naturedly helping a group of
+school boys to fly their kites. I hardly think they could have managed
+without his assistance; but, in ten minutes after, he tore two of their
+kites all to shivers. The same day he snatched widow Woodward's shawl
+from her back, and went off with it, broke half a dozen clothes lines,
+tossed about the clothes, and then, all at once, violently pushed down a
+large stack of chimneys. You see by these actions how little he is to be
+relied on.
+
+Giant Blow is a great traveler, for he sailed round the world with
+Captain Cook, and helped Columbus to discover America. Indeed Columbus
+could not have gone without him. Were he and Giant Roar to withdraw the
+assistance they give to seamen, it would at once put an end to all
+merchandise, and not a single ship would be able to sail upon the seas.
+
+But though Giant Blow is one of the best friends in the world to
+sailors, he often treats them very harshly, knocking their vessels to
+pieces, and flinging them into the raging deep. Hundreds of gallant
+ships, and thousands of hardy tars, has he destroyed in his time.
+
+Giant Blow grinds a great deal of corn, and has a method of his own for
+cooling the earth in hot weather. Common report says that, on some
+occasions, he has removed the plague; and no physician on the earth has
+effected such extraordinary cures as he has done. If every one that he
+has kept in health were to give him a fee, of all doctors in the world
+he would be the richest.
+
+Giant Blow is well known in the West Indies, where he has, at different
+times, made great confusion. When once his loud voice is heard, a
+general terror and consternation are spread around; for it is well known
+that, in his passions, he spares neither friend nor foe. With his great
+strength he lays about him in all directions, stripping the trees of
+their foliage, and furiously tearing them up by the roots, flinging the
+roofs of the houses in the air, and battering down the walls on the
+heads of those who dwell in them. On he goes, till loud cries of
+distress are heard, and heaps of rubbish and rafters, and the dead
+bodies of men, women, and children, lie mingled together in confusion on
+the ground.
+
+You have not, from what I have told you, I dare say, formed the highest
+opinion of Flare, Roar, and Blow; and I fear that the characters of
+Giants Bounce and Rush will be very far from perfect in your estimation.
+You shall have, however, the best account of them that I can give you,
+and then you will be able to judge more correctly.
+
+Giant Bounce, of all the family of the giants, is certainly the most
+peppery in his temper. His brothers usually give some notice of their
+outbreaks, and rise in their position by degrees; not so Giant Bounce:
+at one moment he is quiet as a lamb, and at the next much fiercer than
+a lion.
+
+In complexion, he is much darker than the others; indeed he has an ugly,
+grim, and very forbidding appearance, which well suits his disposition.
+He is the friend of duelists and highwaymen, and this of itself would be
+bad enough, if I had nothing else to bring against him. He has done some
+good, certainly, in his day; but take him for all in all, it might have
+been well if his friend the monk, who first introduced him into
+society, had been otherwise employed.
+
+You would hardly think, from the kind way in which he amuses children,
+by making them squibs and crackers, and other fireworks, that he was
+half so mischievous as he is; but as I have told you the truth about his
+brothers, so will I tell you the truth about him. I cannot say that he
+does not make himself useful at times, for, in deep mines, he often does
+more work, in one hour, than the miners could do without him in a whole
+day; yet still he is a dark, designing, cruel character.
+
+It is true that, some years ago, he went against a terrible pirate and
+robber, who lived on the coast of Barbary, destroying his ships,
+knocking his fortifications about his ears, compelling him to give up
+all the Christian slaves he had in his dungeons, and making him promise
+to behave better in future. It is true also that he helped Nelson,
+Napoleon, Wellington, and Washington, to win their victories; but it was
+not because he had any special love for either of them that he did these
+things. No! whatever other people say of him, I say that he is a hasty,
+cruel, treacherous, blood-thirsty monster. It was he who first persuaded
+people to make guns, pistols, and cannon mortars, bombshells, and
+congreve rockets, so that widows and orphans have been multiplied by
+him, and millions of men, by his means, have been destroyed.
+
+I have now come to the last of the giants, and his character shall be
+summed up in few words. If you remember, I told you that, in winter
+nights, Giant Flare was a very agreeable companion, and the same thing
+may be said of Giant Rush. When the tea-urn simmers, and friends gather
+round the winter tea-table, Giants Flare and Rush ought always to be
+there. They are good company even when you have them one at a time; but
+still better when they are together.
+
+Giant Rush is thought to be younger than his brother Bounce; but of
+this I have some doubt. Of the two, however, he is by far the most
+industrious. He draws up water out of mines; he blows the bellows of the
+blast-furnaces; saws timber; grinds and polishes metals, makes carriages
+run without horses, and forces ships through the waters of the great
+deep against both wind and tide. Besides these things, he has latterly
+begun to print newspapers and books, and in this department he will make
+himself more known than ever. These are his good deeds; but his bad ones
+are a sad reproach to him.
+
+Would you believe it that, some time back, he undertook to do more
+destruction, and to destroy more lives in one hour, than Giant Bounce
+could in a day? Few people thought better than I did of Giant Rush
+before this; and, to speak the truth, I hardly thought the report was
+true. But when I saw him, with my own eyes, fire sixty or eighty bullets
+out of an iron tube, in less time than Giant Bounce could fire with the
+same instrument, I thought to myself, "O! if he can do this, he can do
+anything."
+
+The giant then went into a large field, and, pointing a cannon into a
+high sand-bank, fired off a complete stream of cannon balls, enough, I
+should think, to bring down a house, if not a church, to the very
+ground. In short, I was quite frightened at his invention; and all that
+I hope now is, that no one will give him the least encouragement in his
+horrid undertaking.
+
+Having now related what may appear to you rather a wonderful story, I
+must proceed to tell you the real names of the five giants, though it is
+by no means unlikely that you have already guessed them. The five
+giants, Flare, Roar, Blow, Bounce, and Rush, are, then, neither more
+nor less than the five gigantic powers, Fire, Water, Wind, Gunpowder,
+and Steam; and, though I may have related their adventures and
+achievements somewhat fancifully, if you will examine them you will find
+that they are strictly true. The influence of these giant powers in the
+world has been very great; and as your attention is now drawn to the
+subject, you will, perhaps, be disposed to think upon it more than you
+have hitherto done, connected so closely as it is with the comfort, the
+luxury, the knowledge, and indeed, also, with the happiness and misery
+of mankind. Had I been disposed, I might have made my relation much more
+wonderful; but I trust you have received from it, as it is, some
+amusement, and that it has not been altogether without instruction. It
+may be long before you again hear a true story of five giants; you will
+therefore do well to try to turn this one to advantage, and to inquire
+what it is, in each case, that gives force to the power. For you ought
+to understand that, in and with all the powers of nature, although man
+is allowed to make much use of them, and often to set them in operation;
+yet there is a greater Hand than his, though all unseen, which alone can
+control them. Whenever, then, we see either the water or the fire, or
+hear the wind, let us remember that these are so many elements which
+God has intrusted to the use of man, and that for an abuse of their
+capacities we shall be held accountable.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  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 http://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4.  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 http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is 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:

+
+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.
