year and day. and I'll give you good
wages"
And what will 1 have to do?" says
DonaL
You viii have nothing to do but mind
my Scow and follow my pillow, and don't go
into the Giants garden" says he
We'll" says Donal, says he, that's
easy enough, and I'll engage with you"
The gentleman took him In and gave
him dinner and fine supper, and a
good bed, and in the morning he put
him out to mind the COW and follow the
pillow, and warned him, on the peril of
his life, not to so into the Giants gar
den.
Donal promised that he would do all
was expected of him, and out he went.
All the morning he minded the COW and
he followed the pillow, and in the middle
of the day when he was resting after
having eaten a wee snack he brought out
with him. he began to look up at the
wall that was around the Giants garden
and he wondered what sort of place
there was inside, or what sort of "a lad
the Giant was. And says Donal to him
self says he: 81 should like to so in and
see"
No sooner said than done. Donal went
at the wall and as he could climb like
a cat. it wasn't long till he was over it
and in the Giants garden. There he saw
lots and lots of apple trees with the
branches of them bending down to the
very ground with the weight of the big
apples that were on them; and some par
ticularly nice red rosy ones he saw grow
ing at the top of one of the trees, and
says Donal: "Fd like to have some of
them"
So up the tree he starts and when he
was near the top. he heard a roar that
shook a third of all the apples that were
on the tree off it, and shook the nails on
his own toes, and looking down, he sees
an immense big giant. the most frightful
looking individual he had ever seen or
heard of, coming rushing and roaring into
the garden.
And be this and be that" says the
Giant. when he came under the tree
Donal was in, I'm not be satisfied till I
know whether ] can take Donal from
Donegal in one bite. or whether I'll have
to make two bites of him"
Easy easy" says Donal, says he,
calling down from the tree Let me
come down till we talk it over first"
So the Giant let Donal come down, and
when Donal came down, he pointed to a
great crow-bar three hundred yards long
sand nine yards thick that was lying
there, and says he to the Giant: Before
you eat me, / would like you to try a
throw at that crow-bar."
The Giant laughed at the idea of Donal
trying him a throw, but still he agreed
that he would.
How far can you cnrow it?" says
Donal.
Il can throw It TO the worlds end"
says the Giant. "I1ow far can you throw
itT'
"Wen, i don't know" says Donai, but
] can throw It to Denmark, anyway, ana
may be / could make the worlds end OF
it, too If l tried hard
II don't believe a word you say" says
the Giant TRY there, anyhow, till we
see"
"Oh. after you, sir, is manners" says
Donal. you try first"
Very well and good. the Giant agreed.
lie threw off his coat and rolled up ms
sleeves. and stopped to pick up the crow
bar and when Donal had him STOPPING,
Donal raised the batta-mor, which OF
course, he carried with him, and he came
down kerwalloD on the back Of the
Giants scull. and stretched him there
dead.
Then Donal searched him and found
his keys. and with them he went through
his castle and his stables And he found
IN the castle no end OF clothing and OF
gold; ana when he went into the stables
he found there three hundred and sixty
iivo horses.
But there was one old white mare stand
Ing near the door, VINO lifted her head
when he came in. and said: you are
welcome. Donai from Donegal" And thcn
she began 70 curse the Giant for starving
her
'wha, feat could you do II fed your
snya Donal
"well.' she says. u could leap nlao
