    (continued from previous page)
    About one hundred years ago giants lived together in a house near Murisk and every day they used to go into a field and keep fighting from morning until night. There were two rocks in the middle of the field. One day when they started fighting one giant killed the other and he put the giant's head down through one of the rocks and he split the rock in two halves. The split is in the rock yet.
