 stBut the giant only laughs, an tells Shaun that when he has collected the rent he can help him self to whatever he finds that's good to eat in the kitchen, but Shaun. remembering the copper soup. is Ieery an'Htakes stock in the giants words.
 "After the giant had gone to the pasture to get the double-headed COW. Shaun. feelin' the need of exercise, walks up the twenty-five flights to Fiona room an finds that she, thnkin' perhaps he might be hungry, has prepared him bit of lunch-some foreign thing like you'd get in a delcatessen shop IT forget what me mudder said, but we'll call It blutwurst.

 of he goes to piece called Devils Kingdom over Sligo way an wild, rocky place 1t is, full < of crags an nothin' growth on it but heather, mudder said. .
 When he got to the gate of the bottomless pit, which he knew because of the hot steam that was oozngSup through the rocks he strikes the ground three times an devil like the one on the peer cans comes up--sure wish might see one Red as fire an fiery flame an flaming like torcn- that's the way mudder said it.
 What do ye want?' says he.
 "'I have come for the giants rent says Shaun.
 "tAn' how much do ye want?
 "tOn'y what get away wid, says Shaun, rememberin Fionas advice
 Bully for you, says the devil, there's some wants more; an wid that he leads Shaun down into cavern which had Titfany's beat to a pulp. Dimons thick that Shaun forgot to notice them before he was there a minute. An what's this?-rubies an emerals an onyxes-buckets an
