The History of Jack the Giant-Killer (16) [Jack the Giant-Killer]

The History of Jack the Giant-Killer (16)

  He travelled over hills and dales till he arrived at the foot of a high mountain.

  He knocked at the door of a lonely house, and an old man let him in.

  When Jack was seated the hermit said to him : " My son, on the top of this mountain is an enchanted castle, kept by the Giant Galligantus and a vile magician.

  I lament the fate of a duke's daughter, whom they seized as she was walking in her father's garden, and carried her away in a chariot drawn by two fiery dragons, and transformed her into a deer. "

  Jack promised that in the morning, at the risk of his life, he would break the enchantment ; and after a sound sleep he rose early, put on his invisible coat, and got ready for the attempt.

  When he had climbed to the top of the mountain he saw two fiery dragons ; but he passsed between them without the least fear of danger, for they could not see him because he had on his invisible coat.
