- (continued from previous page)the children were, and cut the heads off the children without caps, for he thought they were the boys. The woman got the breakfast, and the giant went away hunting in the woods. The woman left the boys get up for she thought they were the girls. When they went out, they ran home. When the giant came and saw it was his daughters he killed he was sad for what he had done.
