On the edge of a gloomy forest three Giants were eating their dinner. These Giants would gigantic. They were eating meat as big as rocks. Their spoons were like shovels and their forks were big enough to dig a garden. But someone was secretly watching them. His name was Sam and he was a hunter. I’m going to have some fun with these giants he said. Taking aim, he fired his gun at the fork of the fattest giant. Sam’s gun made the giant jump he poked the fork into his chin. Ow! He yelled Who did that? Just wait until I catch you, whoever you are! Sam tried to hide, but he wasn’t quick enough. The giant spotted him. He jumped up and grabbed Sam. Ha Ha! Now you’re in trouble, boy! He roared. Unless you help us he added. We want the princess from the king’s castle. You can get her. H-how? Squeaked Sam. He was terrified. Oh we’ll show you the giant said, he laughed. Do you think he’s up to the Job? Said the brown-haired giant. There’s no one else to help us said the black-haired giant. Then let’s go! Said the bald-headed giant. The giants picked up Sam and took him to the castle. Everyone’s asleep they told him. We put a spell on them. But the dog is still awake. You must shoot him. The castle dog trotted up to Sam, wagging his tail. He didn’t bark once. He was a very friendly dog. Hello there what’s your name? How could o shoot you? Asked Sam patting him. Sam decided he wasn’t going to help the Giants I think I’ll explore the castle he said. In one room Sam found a Princess He thought she was beautiful. He gazed at her for a long long time then he tiptoed out. Next he found a room with a sword hanging on the wall. There was a golden cup is beside the sword with writing on it. Drink this and use the magic sword to save the princess read Sam. Sam was excited. Perhaps he could save the princess from those horrible giants. He tried a sip of the drink...Mmm quite tasty. Glug glug. He drinks some more. Soon he’d finished it. Now for the sword! Said Sam. He gave a big tug and felt it move, just a little. He tried again. GOT IT! This time it came out in a rush. Ha Ha! Said Sam. Now to get those Giants! Downstairs the giants were knocking at the door. Let us in they bellowed. You’re too big and the door’s too small said Sam. Never mind that! Yelled the giants. Open this door now! Okay said Sam and he hid behind the door. It’s the Giants clawed in, he chopped off their heads. The princess was saved. But Sam began to worry. The king might not like people using his sword. He could be in big trouble. So he ran away. Back in the castle, The Giant’s spell soon wore off. The soldiers woke up. They stared at the dead Giants. Could it really be true? Someone’s killed the Giants! The King the king fetch the king! The castle buzzed with excitement. The Giants were dead at last. But who had killed them?The king saw that his sword was gone, too. It was a mystery. The princess was happiest of all. She dreamed of the handsome hero who had saved her. I’ll marry him. We’ll be so happy! She sighed. But we don’t know who he is said the king. Please find him for me daddy she begged. So the King built an inn. A sign above the door read: anyone who tells his life story may stay here for free. A year later Sam passed by. He went inside and told his tale. It’s the giant killer! Call the princess! The king was overjoyed to meet the man who killed the Giants. His daughter was so excited, she married Sam that very day. Welcome son! Everyone was invited to the wedding... except giants. None of the other Giants would have gone anyway. They were far too scared of Sam.
