The brave Little Tailor (10)

The brave Little Tailor (10)

The little tailor thought that this was the chance of a lifetime.

He agreed to fight the two giants, but he did not need the help of the hundred horsemen, he said , because someone who has defeatedseven at one blow is not likely to be afraid of just two opponents.

He set off for the forest at once, followed by the hundred horsemen.

When he arrived at the adge of the forest, the little tailor told them to wait; he was determined to put an end to the two giants single-handed.

He went into the forest and carefully looked around him.

In less than a second he discovered the two giants.
They were sleeping under a tree, snoring so loudly that all the branches shook.

The little tailor filled his pockets with stones and climbed up into the tree at once.
He crept along a branch which was hanging just above the two sleeping giants and dropped the stones, one by one, on one giants's chest.

It took a long time before the giant felt anything, but at last he woke up, shook his friend and said, " What are you hitting me for ? "

" You are dreaming, " said the other. 
" I havn't touched you. "
