The brave Little Tailor (5)
" You can certainly throw, " said the giant.
" But can you carry as heavy as you can throw high ? "
He led the Little Tailor to a huge oak tree which had been chopped and down.
" If you are really that strong, help me to lift up this tree, " he said.
" No problem, " said the tailor.
" take the trunk on your shoulders, and I will take care of the branches, and the top:they are much heavier. "
The giant took the trunk on his shoulders and the tailor sat down on a branch behind.
The giant then carried the whole tree by himself and , unknown to him, the tailor as well !
He perched comfortably on a branch, merrily whistling a song, as if carryig a tree was a piece of cake.
After a few yards the giant, who was almost crushed by the heavy burden, could not take another step and cried, " Look out, I am going to drop the tree. "
