    (continued from previous page)
    in a certain giant's castle. When she finished her story the king asked the giant what way would he - the giant - punish a person so cruel as that. The giant said ; I would tie that man up to a stake, put a large fire under him and burn him alive.
    The king said : We'll not deny you the death you choose." The king's soldiers and guards gathered around him and tied him up in a big tree, put a large fire under him as he had said himself the death he deserved to die.
