The Brave Little Tailor – Chapter 2
Giant's Challenge
To check if the tailor was telling the truth, the giant picked up a stone, placed it between his hands, and pushed as hard as he could. 👁
It didn't take long before the stone broke into little pieces. 👁
"Now it's your turn!" 👁
said the giant with an evil grin on his face. 👁
Now the tailor was in trouble because he wasn't strong enough to crush a stone held in his hands. 👁
Then he remembered the cheese in his bag. 👁
While holding it, he could easily squeeze it with one hand. 👁
The giant was seriously impressed, but still didn't believe him. 👁
He took a rock and threw it so far into the air that it was hardly visible anymore. 👁
"Now it's your turn!" 👁
said the giant again. 👁
The tailor remembered the little bird he had rescued and pulled it out of his bag. 👁
He threw it in the air. 👁
The bird immediately spread its wings and flew away, never to be seen again. 👁
The giant waited and waited, but even after several minutes, the stone did not come back down. 👁
"You're good at throwing, that's for sure!" 👁
said the giant. 👁
"But are you also able to carry something really heavy?" 👁
The giant led him to the trunk of a huge oak tree that was lying on the ground and said to the tailor. 👁
"If you are strong enough, help me carry it out of the forest." 👁
"That's easy!" 👁
the tailor replied. 👁
"You carry the root, and I'll take the branches - they're the heavier part." 👁
said the tailor. 👁
So the giant lifted up the tree and laid it on his shoulder. 👁
Since he wasn't able to look behind him, the tailor simply climbed onto the branches and let the giant carry the whole tree with him on top. 👁
After a while, the giant got tired and let the tree drop to the ground. 👁
The tailor simply jumped off and quickly grabbed the branches. 👁
"Are you already tired?" 👁
asked the tailor. 👁
Now the giant was not only impressed, but also a little worried, since the little tailor seemed to be strong enough to be a real threat. 👁
The giant made a plan and invited the tailor into his cave. 👁
Together with his comrades, he'd surely be able to kill the little man. 👁
After having dinner together, the giants invited the tailor to stay overnight. 👁
At midnight, the giants crept up to the bed in which the tailor was sleeping and used their axes to hack it to pieces. 👁
In the morning, the giants had already completely forgotten about the tailor and were enjoying their breakfast when suddenly they heard a voice behind them: 👁
"Good morning, did you sleep well?" 👁
said the tailor, who had slept in one of the corners since the giant's bed felt way too big for him which probably saved his life. 👁
The giants were scared to death and ran away as fast as they could. 👁
They were never seen again in the area. 👁
