THE STORY
of
Jack and the Giants.
[Illustration: Jack at Rest. _Initial_]
During the reign of good King Arthur there lived in the County of
Cornwall, near to the Land's End of England, a wealthy farmer, who had
an only son named Jack. Jack was a brisk boy, and of a ready wit: he
took great delight in hearing stories of Giants and Fairies, and used
to listen eagerly while any old woman told him of the great deeds of
the brave Knights of King Arthur's Round Table.
When Jack was sent to take care of the sheep and oxen in the fields,
he used to amuse himself with planning battles and sieges, and the
means to conquer or surprise a foe. He was above the common sports of
children; but hardly any one could equal him at wrestling; or if he
met with a match for himself in strength, his skill and address always
made him the victor.
