The Voyages of Sindbad (35)
At nightfall wereturned to the castle, and very soon in came the Giant, and one more of our number was sacrificed.
But the time of our vengeance was at hand !
As soon as he had finished his horrible meal he lay down to sleep as before, and when we heard him began to snore I, and nine of the boldest of my comrades, rose softly, and took each a spit, which we made red-hot in the fire, and then we plunged them into the Giant's eye, completely blinding him.
Uttering a terrible cry, he sprang to his feet clutching in all directions to try to seize one of us, but we had all fled different ways as soon as the deed was done, and thrown ourselves flat upon the ground in corners where he was not likely to touch us with his feet.
After a vain search he fumbled about till he found the door, and then fled out of it howling frightfully.
