evening       knees           marble           threw         growing         fight 
In the evening he came back.
The iron men were growing up. Some of the men had only their feet in the ground.
Some of them were in the ground up to their knees.
Some had only their heads out. They all tried to get out so they could kill Jason.
Then Jason did what Medea told him he should do.
He took a giant's marble and threw it near the men.
All the iron men wanted to get the marble.
So they began to fight each other. As soon as one had his feet out of the ground, he cut at the man next to him. So they killed each other.
Then Jason took his sword and cut off all the heads that were out of the ground.
So all the iron men were killed and the king was very angry.
But Medea and the people were glad.
JASON AND THE DRAGON.
          yourself      fond            father 
The next day Jason went to the king and said, "Now, give me the golden fleece."
The king did not give it to him, but said, "Come again."
Then Medea said, "If you want the golden fleece, you must help yourself. My father will not give it to you. A dragon is by the tree where the golden fleece is, and he never sleeps. He is always hungry and eats people if they go near him. I can not kill him but I can make him sleep. He is very fond of cake. I will make some cake and put in something to make the dragon sleep."
