Tī了不起ê王Á-sò，kah伊ê王后Kóe-lo̍h-bī-ò統治ê時，tī Khòng-ò͘附近1 ê叫做土地ê盡尾ê所在，有1 ê作穡人，伊有1 ê孤kiáⁿ號做Jia̍k。Chit ê Jia̍k元氣飽tīⁿ腳手猛lia̍h ，隨時準備好beh chhia-piàⁿ，頭殼活kioh反應緊，無啥人mā無啥tāi-chì ián伊ē倒。

Hit chūn，tī Khòng-ò͘ ê聖Mái-kho͘h山to̍h是巨人ê城堡，hit ê巨人to̍h號做Khó͘-mo̍͘h-liàn。

Chit ê Khó͘-mo̍͘h-liàn足足有1丈koh過8尺hiah koân，伊ê腰身大概á有9尺hiah粗，面á惡khia̍k-khia̍k koh生tio̍h kài恐怖，附近ê庄á頭lóng驚伊驚kah beh死。伊tòa tī he石頭山內底ê 1 ê山洞--ni̍h，伊nā需要食si̍t，to̍h ē liâu過流水去大陸，看tio̍h啥伊to̍h食。不管是好額sàn，便nā聽tio̍h伊hit雙大脚teh liâu水sī-sā叫ê聲，lóng總ē ùi in tau走出去bih--起-來，因為巨人nā看tio̍h人，lia̍h--6-7-ê-á來hang-hang--leh做早頓mā是kài四常ê tāi-chì。事實siōng，伊來搶精牲á lóng搶kui批--ê，1遍kā 6隻大牛犅phāiⁿ tī kha-chiah-phiaⁿ，koh kā羊kah豬掛tī伊ê腰帶，to bē輸kui捆ê蠟條án-ne。Taⁿ chit-lō情形已經幾落冬--a，苦憐ê Khòng-ò͘人lóng真絕望，因為無人ē-tàng kā chit ê巨人Khó͘-mo̍͘h-liàn khăn-jió͘--起-來。

Tú-á好tī 1 ê有開市ê日子，hit時，Jia̍k iáu是1 ê少年家á-thûn niâ，伊發見講kui ê庄á頭因為巨人koh來搶劫，kui ê舞kah天地péng-péng--過。婦人人lóng teh流目屎，cha-po͘人lóng teh chhoh-kàn-kiāu，ah地方ê治安官teh開會看koh來beh án-chóaⁿ。M̄-koh無人有步。Chit時，Jia̍k to̍h歡頭喜面koh興chhih-chhih行去治安官in面頭前，伊人本底to̍h kài有禮貌，伊chŏaⁿ真好禮kā in問講，nā是有人ē-tàng kā巨人Khó͘-mo̍͘h-liàn thâi--死，伊ē有啥物賞。

In ìn講：「巨人山洞內底ê寶。」

Jia̍k koh問講：「Lóng總？」Jia̍k to̍h是ài問kah有1枝柄thang giâ。

In koh ìn講：「Khêng kah chhun siōng尾1-sián錢mā是你ê！」

「Án-ne chit ê穡頭我to̍h ín--ah。」Jia̍k講soah，sûi to̍h開始進行chit項khang-khòe。

Hit時是寒--人，伊去chhōe 1支牛角吹，1支尖嘴掘á，kah 1支土chhiah，tī暗眠摸ê暗頭á去到山--ni̍h，起手khang-khòe，tī天beh phah-phú光進前to̍h kā 1 ê窟á挖好--ah，chit ê窟á，深2丈4尺半，闊mā差不多是án-ne。伊用長長ê幼柴枝á kah草kó kā khang am--leh，koh iā 1沿鬆鬆ê土tī面頂，ho͘看--起-來to̍h親像tēng-tauh ê土脚kāng款。To̍h án-ne，tī天phú-kng ê時，伊tī窟á ê邊--á離巨人ê山洞siāng hn̄g ê所在，khiā kah好勢好勢，老神在在，kā牛角吹tu到嘴唇邊，出全力ka pûn--lòe：

「Thián-tho̍h-bì！Thián-tho̍h-bì！Thián-tho̍h-bì！」

To̍h親像伊去phah狐狸ê時teh做--ê kāng款。

當然--lah，án-ne一定ē kā巨人吵精神，巨人氣kah beh死，chŏaⁿ ùi山洞chông--出-來，1-ē出來到tè，看tio̍h hit ê細隻á ê Jia̍k khiā kah好勢好勢，老神在在teh pûn吹，巨人氣kah kiōng beh piāng--去，sûi to̍h衝過beh hō͘攪擾伊歇睏ê人好看，嘴hoah講：「你chit ê死gín-á脯，敢kā巨人吵--起-來。我ē kā你教講你tī hia teh Thián-tho̍h-bì ē jōa淒慘落魄，我ē kā你lia̍h來kui隻hang-hang--leh做早…。」

伊話chiah tú講到chia，意外to̍h發生--a，伊lak落去khang--ni̍h-ah！摔1-ē有影kài食力，kui lia̍p聖Mái-kho͘h山bē輸lóng teh地動--leh。

Jia̍k是笑kah teh chùn，伊大聲笑講：「Ho͘h-ho͘h，巨人先生，chit-má你ê早頓創kah án-chóaⁿ--ah？你是beh kă sa去烘爐烘a̍h是the̍h去土窯khòng？Kám講nā無苦憐ê細隻Jia̍k你to̍h無mi̍h thang食--ah？Súi ŏ͘！你已經tio̍h吊走無路--ā，你因為為非sám做去hō͘我關--起-來，beh án-chóaⁿ kā你凌治lóng在我歡喜。我chit-má nā有臭--去ê雞卵to̍h好--ah，m̄-koh，chit支ûn-ná bē-bái--lah。」講soah，to̍h kā伊ê尖嘴掘á gia̍h kah koân-koân-koân，使硬力ùi巨人Khó͘-mo̍͘h-liàn ê頭殼頂chhân-chhân ka掘--落-去，當場to̍h ka thâi--死-ah。

Sòa--lòe，Jia̍k tiām-tiām-á kā窟á用土thūn--起-來，to̍h入去山洞chhiau-chhōe，chhōe tio̍h有夠chē金銀財寶。

治安官in聽tio̍h Jia̍k ê大成就了後，宣布講ta̍k ê以後lóng tio̍h ài稱呼伊是：

巨人殺手JIA̍K。

In送Jia̍k 1 kháu寶劍kah 1條腰帶，頂面用金線繡2 chōa字：

Thâi死巨人Khó͘-mo̍͘h-liàn

Siōng勇敢ê Khòng-ò͘人。

當然Jia̍k贏--ā ê消息，真緊to̍h傳kah kui ê英格蘭to通人知，só͘-pái，有另外1 ê tòa tī北pêng，叫做Pu-nńg-tò-pò͘ ê巨人聽tio̍h風聲了後，咒誓講，nā是去ho͘ tú tio̍h Jia̍k，che冤仇伊一定ē討。Chit ê巨人Pu-nńg-tò-pò͘，to̍h是khiā tī稀微ê大樹林中央，hit棟hông咒懺ê城堡ê主人。

Mā真tú好，to̍h差不多tī Jia̍k kā Khó͘-mo̍͘h-liàn thâi--死ê 4個月後，chhiàng-suh chhiàng-suh thang去Óe-o̍͘h-suh旅行，路--ni̍h伊經過chit ê大樹林。伊kiâⁿ kah人siān--ā ê時，tī路邊看tio̍h 1 káng迷人ê水泉，伊to̍h倒落來休息，無jōa久to̍h睏落眠--ā。

現此時，巨人Pu-nńg-tò-pò͘來到鼓井邊beh chhiūⁿ水，看tio̍h Jia̍k tng teh睏，koh看伊腰帶ê繡字to̍h知影講，chit--ê to̍h是名聲thàng京城ê巨人殺手。實在有夠好運，巨人歡喜kah kiōng-beh tio̍h-poa̍h，半聲半to̍h kā Jia̍k扛tī肩胛頭，nǹg過樹林á行轉去hit棟hông咒懺ê城堡。

Jia̍k去hō͘樹oe sā-sā叫ê聲吵精神，伊發見講ka-tī ê性命已經去hō͘巨人la̍k tī手頭，驚kah面青面綠，尾--á，伊去看tio̍h城堡ê門口埕kui土脚lóng是死人骨頭ê時，驚kah尿lóng kiōng-beh siàm--出-來。

「你真緊to̍h ē hâm in lām做夥--ah。」Pu-nńg-tò-pò͘ ná講，ná kā苦憐ê Jia̍k鎖入去城堡大門頂頭ê 1間有夠大間ê房間。這間房間koân-lòng-sòng，thiăn-jió͘有樑thiāu，kan-na有1扇窗á門niâ，看--出-去to̍h是路。Pu-nńg-tò-pò͘ beh去chhōe伊tòa tī kāng 1 phiàn樹林á內ê巨人兄弟，做夥來食chheⁿ-chhau，這時，苦憐ê Jia̍k to̍h hông關tī房間內等。

1-chām-á了後，Jia̍k ùi窗á看tio̍h in 2 ê巨人緊pia̍k-pia̍k，脚步phōng-phōng叫，滿心期待趕beh赴in ê暗頓。

Jia̍k nauh講：「是死是活盡拚to̍h chit tù，sûi to̍h知--a。」因為伊已經想tio̍h 1 ê計畫。伊tī房間ê 1 ê角--á，看tio̍h 2條真粗ê索á。伊kā 2條索á lóng the̍h來結1 ê liù-kho͘絲á，koh kā liù-kho͘絲á hit頭hâⁿ tī窗á外。To̍h tī巨人tng teh開鐵門鎖ê時，Jia̍k趁in無注意，偷偷á kā liù-kho͘絲á套tī in ê頷頸。Sòa--lòe，用緊kah bē輸目1-nih ê速度，kā hit 2條索á pa̍k去樑thiāu頂。Só͘-pái巨人繼續行ê時，liù-kho͘絲á to̍h kā in ê頷頸束kah ân-tòng-tòng，一直到in面lóng反烏。Jia̍k看時機已經到，to̍h ùi索á溜--落-去，長劍poe̍h--出-來，kā 2 ê巨人thâi--死。

Chū án-ne, Jia̍k to̍h kā城堡ê鎖匙the̍h--leh，kā所有ê門lóng開--開，有3 ê美麗ê女士to̍h hō͘伊放--出-來，in隨人ê頭鬃lóng hông pa̍k tiâu--leh走bē去，早to̍h kiōng-beh iau--死-ah。Jia̍k孤脚跪落地，伊to̍h是hiah有禮貌--lah，koh講：「可愛ê女士--ah，che是chit棟hông咒懺ê城堡ê鎖匙，我已經kā巨人Pu-nńg-tò-pò͘ kah伊野蠻ê兄弟消滅--ah，só͘-pái lín mā lóng已經自由。Chit寡鎖匙應該ē-tàng hō͘ lín得tio̍h lín所需要ê物件。」

講soah，伊to̍h起身繼續伊beh去Óe-o̍͘h-suh ê路途--ā。

III

伊用siāng緊ê速度ùi目標--去，凡勢是siuⁿ趕緊，soah行m̄ tio̍h路，天變kah暗so-so，四pêng無人mā無人家。伊滿心期待，四界chhōe路，最後行到1 ê e̍h-e̍h--á ê山谷ê時，看tio̍h 1棟kài大間m̄-koh陰冷陰冷ê厝，孤孤單單khiā tī hia。 伊真ǹg望beh緊chhōe 1 ê所在thang u，to̍h趕緊去ka lòng門。你ē-tàng想像--lah，nā是來ka開門--ê是1 ê生2粒頭ê巨人，Jia̍k ē有jōa緊張koh jōa驚hiâⁿ。M̄-koh，sui-bóng講chit ê巨人生tio̍h惡khia̍k-khia̍k，人soah kài有禮數。事實上，伊是1 ê Óe-o̍͘h-suh巨人，有2 ê面，是雙面人，人kài滑溜，真hèng用虛情假意來對你好thang hâm你交朋友，m̄-koh che to̍h是伊beh奸鬼惡毒做歹tāi ê手段niâ。

伊用真明顯ê Óe-o̍͘h-suh腔口，熱情歡迎Jia̍k來，m̄-nā準備1間睏房beh ho͘睏，koh真親切ka祝福，希望伊ē-tàng歇睏kah sù-sī-sù-sī。M̄-koh，Jia̍k實在是thiám kah過頭--ā，顛倒睏bē好勢，hoan來péng去睏bē落眠ê時，無意中去聽tio̍h主人tī隔壁房間ka-tī teh nga̍uh-nga̍uh唸。Jia̍k ê耳khang chiâⁿ利，有才調聽tio̍h主人teh講siáⁿ，伊講ê話差不多是親像án-ne：

「Sui-bóng你今á暗kah我tòa做夥，

m̄-koh你免想講有thang看tio̍h明á載ê日頭jōa mé，

我ê棍á ē kā你ê頭殼hám kah看無腦髓。」

Jia̍k nauh講：「好lí大膽！有夠敢講！」人一下to̍h精神--起-來，koh講：「Tang時á che to̍h是lín Óe-o̍͘h-suh ê奸詭步，tio̍h hoⁿh？M̄-koh chiah看我án-chóaⁿ對付--你-lah。」了後，伊落眠床，kā 1 chat大塊柴kho͘ khǹg tī眠床頂用毯á am--leh，伊ka-tī mā the̍h 1條毯á kā ka-tī moa--leh，chiah bē寒--tio̍h，koh走去tī房間ê角--á，bih kah sù-sī-sù-sī，假做睏kah kôⁿ-kôⁿ叫，to̍h是beh hō͘ Mí-su̍h-thah巨人當做伊已經睏--去-ah。

Koh有影hō͘ Jia̍k料kah準準，過無jōa久，hit ê怪物nih脚尾行--入-來-ah，he脚步to bē輸踏tī雞卵面頂hiah-nī輕，手--ni̍h koh the̍h 1支大支棍á。Sòa--lòe…。

Póng！Póng！Póng！

Jia̍k聽tio̍h眠床去hō͘巨人kòng kah pìn-pòng叫，一直到巨人感覺伊ê人客kui seng-khu ê骨頭lóng已經ho͘ phah到chiâu碎，chiah koh偷偷á離開房間。了後Jia̍k to̍h tiām-tiām-á koh chiūⁿ眠床，kui暝睏kah真好勢！隔轉工早起，巨人看tio̍h Jia̍k精神飽tīⁿ koh kui叢好好ùi樓梯行--落-來ê時，bē輸是去看tio̍h鬼--leh。

「雞母ôe！Nah有可能！」巨人去ho͘驚kah大聲喝--出-來，koh問講：「睏有好勢--無？Cha暗kám lóng無感覺tio̍h啥？」

「喔！」Jia̍k心內暗笑ìn講：「我感覺有1隻niáu鼠á走--來，koh用伊ê尾á kā我sut 2-3 ē。」

巨人聽1 ē目白舌吐，to̍h chhōa Jia̍k去食早起頓，伊phâng 1 ê siāng無ē-tàng té 15 li̍p ê麥á-moâi ê碗，koh要求伊講，hiah有氣魄ê cha-po͘人，應該有法度kā chit碗moâi食了了。咱Jia̍k nā teh四界旅行ê時，伊lóng ē chah 1 kha皮袋á khǹg tī伊ê風幔ē底，thang好té物件；伊sûi to̍h想tio̍h講ē-tàng kā hit kha皮袋á sóa來頭前，kā皮袋á ê嘴正正對tī ē-hâi ē-kha；án-ne，伊teh食moâi ê時，to̍h ē-tàng kā大部分ê moâi lóng倒入去袋á--ni̍h，koh bē hō͘巨人覺察--tio̍h。In to̍h坐落來食飯--ā，巨人是piàⁿ性命食，三嘴做二嘴大嘴吞，ah Jia̍k--leh，伊是tiām-tiām-á kā伊碗內ê moâi變ho͘無--去。

Jia̍k用奸巧ê手段kā moâi食了以後講：「Eh，換我來展1步比你gâu雙倍ê工夫hō͘你看。」講soah，伊to̍h the̍h 1支尖刀 kā伊ê皮袋á liô ho͘破，hin內底ê moâi to̍h lóng lak落去土脚--a！

「雞母ôe！Nah有可能！」巨人m̄認輸koh大聲hoah講：「Che我mā ē-hiáu lah！」講soah，伊to̍h kā尖刀gia̍h--起-來，kā ka-tī ê腹肚liô--開，sòa--lòe伊to̍h poa̍h倒，死--去。
