- Once there was a big giant in Ireland.
He had a row with another giant, this giant was afraid of this big giant.
The big giant came one day to fight this small giant.
the small man did not know what to do.
He heard about all the men he killed.
He asked his wife what he should do.
Come here and get into this bed said his wife and I will meet the giant.
It was not long till the big giant came roaring.

No" said his wife.
