they had killed him.
The giants got up very early in the morning and went off to look for food, not thinking about the tailor at all. The tailor kept very quiet in his corner until the three giants had gone away. Then he started off by himself and who should he meet but the three giants and said the tailor to them, "You thought to kill me but you know I kill seven with one blow."
The giants were terrified at this thinking he would kill the three of them, and they jumped across ditches, trees, rivers and disappeared in a few minutes, and the tailor saw them no more. He then went home to his work again quite satisfied with his adventure.
