The origins of Halloween can be traced back to ancient Celtic traditions. The Celts celebrated Samhain at the end of summer, which marked the beginning of winter and the time when spirits and ghosts were thought to return.

Jack-o-lanterns originated from an Irish myth about a man named Stingy Jack who was trapped between heaven and hell and given a lit turnip to light his way.
This document is the first chapter of the book "The Gnome King of Oz" by Ruth Plumly Thompson. It introduces the kingdom of Patch, where the people are called Quilties. The Queen of Patch, Cross Patch VI, has gone to pieces due to old age. As is the custom in Patch, her remains will be swept up and stored away to reconstitute in 10 years. Two ministers, Prime Piecer and Chief Scrapper, must use the magical Golden Spool of Succession to find a new ruler. The spool leads them on a wild chase out of Patch and toward the Emerald City, where they arrive by means of a magic footpath belonging to the Wizard of Oz.
Tricksters are mythological figures that break rules and play tricks. They often shape-shift and appear as animals. Coyote is a major trickster figure in Native American myths, though his role varies between cultures - sometimes he is a culture hero, other times an antihero or comic figure. One Micronesian myth tells of the trickster Olifat who tricks his brother and father. Another Native American myth describes a raccoon deceiving two blind old men by moving their water line and tapping them, causing a fight. Reynard the Fox was a medieval European trickster who was always in trouble but could talk his way out. The Joker in The Dark Knight is such an iconic villain because he appeals

Exhausted, he hears the sounds of a nearby iron mill and stumbles upon the forge. The ironmaster recognizes him as an old soldier, though they have never met. Seeing a chance, the peddler pretends to know the ironmaster.

Stingy Jack was a miserable drunkard who enjoyed playing tricks, including tricking the Devil into climbing an apple tree. When the Devil promised not to take Jack's soul, Jack released him. After Jack died, neither Heaven nor Hell would accept him. The Devil took pity and gave Jack a burning coal to light his way, which Jack placed in a hollowed out turnip. People began carving turnips and placing candles in them to ward off Jack. The tradition was brought to America where pumpkins replaced turnips as Jack O'Lanterns.

Constitutional Law Your Ironclad Guarantee of FreedomChuck Thompson
This document discusses various aspects of constitutional law, including:
- The supremacy of the U.S. Constitution over other laws according to Article VI of the Constitution.
- Protections provided by the Bill of Rights, such as freedom of speech and protection from unreasonable searches.
- The principle that unconstitutional statutes are void and unenforceable from the date of enactment based on the 1803 Marbury v. Madison Supreme Court decision.
- Citations from American Jurisprudence discussing the interpretation and application of the Constitution, including the principle that citizens are not bound to obey unconstitutional laws.
This document contains an index to laws and regulations for the government of the United States Army in 1815.

This document provides a table of contents for a book titled "The American Judiciary" by Simeon E. Baldwin. The table of contents lists 24 chapters divided into two parts. Part I discusses the nature and scope of judicial power in the United States, including the separation of judicial power from other branches of government and the force of precedents. Part II addresses the organization of state and federal courts and relations between different court systems. It also covers topics like trial procedures, appellate courts, and the appointment of judges.
This document is a decision and order from a United States District Court regarding the subversion of common law by rules. It argues that in 1938, the Supreme Court enacted rules merging equity and common law claims into "civil actions", claiming common law rules caused injustice. However, the document asserts this was an act of treason, as rules cannot overturn the natural law embodied in common law. It maintains that judges are bound only by the Constitution and natural law, and that "civil law" enacted by Congress and rules created by courts improperly restrict rights endowed by our Creator. The document concludes that rules are not law and cannot change the fact that courts are bound by common law principles of equity and maxims.
Why climate change science does not matterChuck Thompson
The document argues that climate change science violates evolutionary science in two key ways. First, it fails to consider humanity's ability to adapt to environmental changes or go extinct and be replaced by something greater. Second, it ignores that evolution occurred through rapid progression followed by slower adaptation, so humanity could rapidly adapt to climate impacts. The document also notes that climate scientists and evolutionary scientists have not adequately considered how their disciplines intersect. It concludes that climate change may be part of natural evolutionary processes, so there is no need to worry about its impacts on humanity.

This document discusses the development of a new type of lightweight material called aerographite. Aerographite is an ultra-light carbon nanotube-based foam that is 100 times less dense than balsa wood. It was created by growing a highly porous network of carbon nanotubes on a template substrate then removing the template, leaving behind a nanotube structure that is over 99% air. Aerographite is one of the world's lightest solid materials and has potential applications in aircraft, batteries and insulation due to its unique combination of lightness, strength, and thermal properties.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

13. THE STORY
of
Jack and the Giants.
U R I N G the reign of good King
Arthur there lived in the
County of Cornwall, near to
the Land's End of England,
a wealthy farmer, who had an
only son named Jack. Jack
was a brisk boy, and of a ready
wit : he took great delight in
hearing stories of Giants and
Fairies, and used to listen eagerly
while any old woman told him of the great deeds of the brave
Knights of King Arthur's Round Table.
When Jack was sent to take care of the sheep and oxen
14. 10 The Giant of the Mount.
in the fields, he used to amuse himself with planning battles
and sieges, and the means to conquer or surprise a foe. He
was above the common sports of children ;
but hardly any
one could equal him at wrestling ;
or if he met with a match
for himself in strength, his skill and address always made him
the victor.
In those days the Mount of Cornwall was kept by a
huge and monstrous Giant, eighteen feet in height, and about
three yards in compass, of a fierce and grim countenance, the
terror of all the neighbouring towns and villages.
He dwelt
15. His Depredations.
in a cave in the middle of the Mount ;
and he was such a
selfish monster that he would not suffer any one to live near
him. He fed on other men's cattle, which often became his
prey ;
for whensoever he wanted food, he would wade over
to the mainland, where he would furnish himself with what-
ever came in his way.
NIC seized the inhabitants at his
approach, they forsook their
habitations, and took flight,
while the Giant seized upon
their cattle, making nothing
of carrying half-a-dozen oxen
on his back at a time; and
as for their sheep and hogs,
he would tie them by dozens round his waist, This course
he had followed for many years, so that a great part of
the county was impoverished by his depredations.
Jack resolved to kill this monster; and taking with him
a horn, a shovel, and a pickaxe, he went over to the Mount
16. 14 Jack diggeth a Pit for Him.
in the beginning of a dark winter's evening, when he fell to
work, and before morning had dug a pit twenty -two feet
deep, and nearly as broad, and had covered it over with long
sticks and straw. Then strewing a little mould upon it, he
made it
appear like plain ground. Then Jack placed the
horn to his mouth, and blew with all his might such a loud
tantivy, that the Giant awoke and rushed towards Jack, ex-
claiming :
" You saucy villain, why are you come here to disturb
my rest ?
you shall pay dearly for this. I will take you home,
and broil you whole for my breakfast."
He had no sooner uttered this cruel threat, than, tum-
bling into the pit, he made the very foundations of the Mount
to shake.
"
Oh, oh, Mr. Giant," said Jack,
" where are you now?
do you think now of broiling me for your breakfast ? will
nothing else serve you but poor Jack?"
Thus did little Jack torment the big Giant, as a cat does
a mouse when she knows it cannot escape ;
and when he had
tired of that amusement, he gave the monster a heavy blow
17. He is
trapped and killed.
with a pickaxe on the very crown of his head, which tumbled
him down, and killed him on the spot. When Jack saw
that the Giant was dead, he filled
up the pit with earth,
and went to search the cave, which he found contained much
treasure.
Jack then made haste back to rejoice his friends with the
news of the Giant's death.
Now, when the justices of Cornwall heard of this valiant
action, they sent for Jack, and declared that he should always
be called
3tecfe tfct Giant iUIIer ;
and they also gave him a
magnificent sword and an
embroidered belt, upon which
was emblazoned, in letters of
gold,
" This is the valiant Cornish man
Who slew the Giant Cormorant
18. 1 6 The Giant Blunderbore
The news of Jack's victory soon spread over all the west
of England; so that another Giant, named Blunderbore,
hearing of it, vowed to be revenged on Jack, if ever it was
his fortune to light ori him. This Giant kept an enchanted
castle, situated in the midst of a lonely wood.
Now Jack, about four months after his last exploit,
riding near this castle in his journey towards Wales, being
weary, lay down near a pleasant fountain in the wood, and
quickly fell
asleep. Presently the Giant, coming to the
fountain for water, discovered him ;
and as the lines written
on the belt shewed who he was, he immediately took Jack
on his shoulders, and carried him towards his castle. Now,
as they passed through a thicket, the rustling of the boughs
awakened Jack, who was terribly frightened to find himself in
the clutches of Blunderbore. Yet this was nothing to his fright
soon after ;
for when they reached the castle, he beheld the floor
covered all over with skulls and bones of men and women.
The Giant took him into a large room, where lay the
limbs of persons that had been lately killed ;
and he told
Jack, with a horrid grin, that men's hearts, eaten with pepper
19. Invitetb a Friend to eat Jack. 1
7
and vinegar, were his nicest food, and that he thought he
should make a dainty meal on his. When he had said this,
he locked Jack up in the room, while he went to fetch another
Giant, who lived in the same wood, to enjoy a dinner off poor
Jack.
While he was away, Jack heard dreadful shrieks, and
groans, and cries, from many parts of the castle ; and soon
after he heard a mournful voice repeat these lines :
"
Haste, valiant Stranger, haste away,
Lest you become the Giant's prey.
On his return he'll bring another
Still more savage than his brother;
A horrid, cruel monster, who,
Before he kills, will torture you.
Oh, valiant Stranger ! haste away,
Or you'll become these Giants' prey.'
1
This warning was so shocking to poor Jack, that he was
ready to go mad. He ran to the window, and saw the two
20. 1 8 jfack strangleth the Two,
Giants coming along arm in arm. This window was right
over the gates of the castle.
cc
Now," thought Jack,
cc
either my death or freedom is
at hand."
Now there were two strong cords in the room. Jack
made a large noose with a slip-knot at the ends of both
these ; and as the Giants were coming through the iron gates,
he threw the ropes over their heads. He then made the
other ends fast to a beam in the ceiling, and pulled with all
his might till he had almost strangled them. When he saw
that they were both quite black in the face, and had not the
least
strength left, he drew his sword, and slid down the
ropes ;
he then killed the Giants, and thus saved himself from
the cruel death they meant to put him to.
Jack next took a great bunch of keys from the pocket
of Blunderbore, and went into the castle again. He made
a strict search through all the rooms ; and in them found
three ladies tied up by the hair of their heads, and almost
starved to death. They told him that their husbands had
been killed by the Giants, who had then condemned them
21. and releaseth the Captives.
to be starved to death, because they would not eat the flesh
of their own husbands.
"
Charming Ladies," said Jack,
" I have put an end to
the monster and his wicked brother ;
and I
give you this
castle, and all riches that it contains, to make you some
amends for the dreadful pains you have felt."
He then very politely gave them the keys of the castle,
and went further in his journey to Wales.
A R i N G very little for riches, Jack had not
taken any of the Giant's wealth for
himself, and having but little money
of his own, he thought it best to travel
as fast as he could.
At length he lost his way ; and when night came on, he
was in a valley between two lofty mountains. He thought
himself lucky at last in finding a large and handsome house.
He went to it, and knocked at the gate ; when, to his surprise,
there came forth a Giant with two heads. He spoke to Jack
22. 2O The Double-Headed Welshman,
very civilly, for he was a Welsh Giant, and all the mischief
he did was done under a show of friendship. Jack told him
he was a benighted traveller, when the monster bade Jack
welcome, and led him into a room where he could pass the
night. But though he was weary he could not sleep, for
he heard the Giant walking backward and forward in the next
room, saying,
"
Though here you lodge with me this night^
Tou shall not see the morning-light ;
My club shall dash your brains out quite"
cc
Say you so?" quoth Jack;
Cf
that is like one of your
Welsh tricks."
Then getting out of bed, Jack groped about the room,
and at last found a billet of wood ;
he laid it in his place in
the bed, and hid himself in a corner of the room. In the
middle of the night the Giant came with his great club,
and struck many heavy blows on the bed, in the very place
where Jack had laid the billet ;
and then went to his own
room, thinking he had broken all Jack's bones.

25. cozeneth him.
Early in the morning Jack walked into the Giant's room
to thank him for his lodging. The Giant started when he
saw him, and began to stammer out,
cc
Pray, how did you sleep last night? Did you hear
or see any thing in the dead of the night ?"
cc
Nothing worth speaking of," said Jack, carelessly ;
" a
rat, I believe, gave me three or four flaps with its tail, but
I soon went to sleep again."
The Giant did not answer a word, but brought in two
bowls of hasty-pudding for their breakfasts. Jack wanted
26. 24 The Trick of the Pudding.
to make the Giant believe that he could eat as much as him-
self, so he contrived to button a leathern bag inside his coat,
and slipped the pudding into the bag instead of his mouth.
When breakfast was over, he said to the Giant,
cc
I will
shew you a fine trick : I could cut my head off one minute,
and put it on sound the next. But see here !"
He then took a knife, ripped up the bag, and all the
pudding fell on the floor, v
" Odds splutter hur nails," cried the Giant, who was
ashamed to be outdone by Jack,
cc
hur can do that hurself !"
So he snatched up the knife, plunged it into his stomach,
and in a moment dropped down dead.
Jack having thus outwitted the monster, went further on
his journey.
27. Jack meeteth with a Prince.
PART THE SECOND.
'
ACK travelled on until he met with King
Arthur's only son, who was seeking all
through Wales for a very beautiful
lady that was enchanted. Jack asked
leave to be the Prince's attendant, and
the Prince granted his request.
After a long day's journey, when
night drew on, the Prince was anxious
to secure a lodging, but they had no means to hire one,
for both the Prince and Jack had spent all their money ;
but
Jack said,
" Never mind, master, we shall do well enough, for I
have an uncle who lives within two miles of this place ;
he is
28. 26 Visiteth his Three-headed Uncle^
a huge and monstrous Giant,
with three heads ;
he'll
fight
five hundred men in armour,
and make them flee before
him."
" Alas!" quoth the Prince,
" what shall we do there ?
he'll
certainly chop us up at
a mouthful. Nay, we are
scarce enough to fill his hol-
low tooth."
cc
It is no matter for that/'
quoth Jack j "I myself will
go before, and prepare the
way for you ;
therefore tarry
and wait till I return."
Jack then rode off full speed, and coming to the gate
of the castle, he knocked so loud that the echo from the
neighbouring hills resounded like thunder.
The Giant, terribly vexed, roared out,
" Who's there ?"
29. and Locketh him up. 2 7
cc
None but your poor cousin Jack/' answered he.
cc
What news with my poor cousin Jack?"
He replied,
cc
Dear uncle, heavy news."

can come to me ? I am a Giant with three heads ; and besides,
thou knowest I can fight five hundred men in armour, and
make them fly like chaff before the wind."
"
Oh, but," quoth Jack,
C(
here's the Prince a-coming,
with a thousand men in armour, to kill you, and destroy all
that you have !"
"
Oh, cousin Jack," said the Giant,
" this is
heavy news
indeed ! I will immediately run and hide myself, and thou
shalt lock, bolt, and bar me in, and keep the keys till the
Prince is
gone."
Jack joyfully complied with the Giant's request ;
and
fetching his master, they feasted and made themselves
merry, whilst the poor Giant lay trembling in a vault under-
ground.
In the morning, Jack furnished the Prince with a fresh
supply of gold and silver, and then sent him three miles for-

ward on his journey, as he would then be pretty well out of
the smell of the Giant. Jack then returned, and liberated
the Giant from the vault, who asked what he should give
him for saving the castle.
fc
Why," quoth Jack,
cc
I desire nothing but the old coat
and cap, together with the old rusty sword and slippers which
are at your bed's head."
Quoth the Giant,
cc
Thou shalt have them ; and pray
keep them for my sake, for they are things of excellent
use : the coat will keep you invisible, the cap will furnish
you with knowledge, the sword cuts asunder whatever you
strike, and the shoes are of extraordinary swiftness. These
may be serviceable to you : therefore take them, with all
my
heart."
They soon arrived at the dwelling of the beautiful lady,
who was under the power of a wicked Magician. She re-
ceived the Prince with fair words, and made a noble feast
for him ; when it was ended, she arose, and wiping her
mouth with a fine handkerchief, said,
cc
My Lord, you must
shew me this handkerchief to-morrow, or lose your head."
31. and vanquisheth the Magician. 29
She then went out of the room, taking the handkerchief
with her.
The Prince went to bed right sorrowful ;
but Jack put
on his cap of knowledge, which told him that the lady
was forced, by the power of the enchantment, to meet the
wicked Magician every night in a forest. Jack now put
on his coat of darkness and his shoes of swiftness, and
went to the forest, where he saw the lady give the
handkerchief to the Ma-
gician. Whereupon Jack,
who was surrounded by
a host of evil spirits,
with his sword of sharp-
ness, at one blow cut off
his head, and regained
the handkerchief for the
Prince ;
the enchantment
was ended in a moment,
and the lady restored to
her virtue and goodness.

She returned with the Prince to the court of King Arthur,
where they were received with welcome ;
and the valiant Jack
was made one of the Knights of the Round Table.

PART THE THIRD.
.ACK resolved not to live in idleness for the
future, but to do what services he could
for the honour of the king and the nation.
He therefore humbly besought King Ar-
thur to furnish him with a horse and
money, that he might travel in search of
new and strange exploits.
Cf
For/' said he to the King,
cc
there
are many Giants yet among the mountains of Wales, and they
oppress the people :
therefore, if it
please you, Sire, to favour
my designs, I will soon rid your kingdom of these Giants and
monsters."
When the King heard this offer, and thought of the cruel
deeds of these bloodthirsty Giants and savage monsters, he
gave Jack every thing proper for such a journey.
34. 3 2 He encountereth another Giant y
Thereupon Jack took leave of the King, the Prince, and
all the Knights of the Round Table, and set off. He went
along over hills and mountains, until he came to a large forest,
Jfc
through which his road lay. On a sudden he heard piercing
shrieks. He forced his way through the trees, and saw a huge
35.
36.
37. and slayeth him. 3 5
Giant, thirty-five feet high, dragging along by the hair of their
heads a Knight and his beautiful Lady, one in each hand, with
as much ease as if they had been a pair of gloves. Jack shed
tears at such a sight, and alighting from his horse, and tying
him to an oak, put on his invisible coat, under which he
carried his sword of sharpness.
When he came up to the Giant, he made many strokes
at him, but could not reach his body, on account of his
great
height. Still, he wounded his ankles in many places : at last,
putting both hands to his sword, and aiming with all his
might, he cut off both the Giant's legs below the garter ; so
that his body tumbled to the ground.
9^S?^^T ACK t^ien set one ^oot uPon his nec^ and cried
out,
" Thou cruel wretch ! behold I give thee
the just reward of thy crimes." And so plunging
his sword into the Giant's body, the monster gave
a loud groan and yielded up his life ; while the
noble Knight and his Lady were joyful at their
deliverance. They heartily thanked Jack for what he had done,
and invited him to their house to refresh himself.
38. 3 6 jfack waxetb still more valiant,
cc
No," said Jack,
cc
I cannot be at ease till I find out this
monster's dwelling."
The Knight, hearing this, grew sad, and replied,
cc
Noble
stranger, it is too much to run a second hazard. This monster
lived in a den under yonder mountain, with a brother of his,
more fierce and cruel than himself: therefore, if you should
go thither and perish in the attempt to overthrow this wicked
brother, it would be heart-breaking to me and my lady ; so
let me persuade you to go with us, and desist from any farther
pursuit."
"
Nay," said Jack,
cc
even if there were twenty, I would
shed the last drop of my blood before one of them should
escape me. When I have done this task, I will return and
visit you."
Jack had not rode a mile and a half before he came in
sight of the mouth of the cavern ;
and nigh the entrance of
it he beheld the other Giant sitting on a huge rock, with a
knotted iron club in his hand, waiting for his brother. His
eyes flashed like flames of fire, his face was grim, and his
cheeks seemed like two flitches of bacon ;
the bristles of his
39. and threatened the Giant s Brother. 3 7
beard were as thick rods of iron wire ;
and his locks of hair
hung down like curling snakes. Jack alighted from his horse,
and turned him into a thicket; then he put on his invisible
coat, and drew a little nearer, to behold this figure ; and said
softly,
cc
O monster, are you there ! it will not be long be-
fore I shall take you fast
by the beard."
The Giant, all this while, could not see him, by reason
of his invisible coat : then Jack came quite close to him, and
40. 38 Jack maimeth and doth for him.
struck a blow at his head with his sword of sharpness ; but,
missing his aim, only cut off his nose, whilst the Giant roared
like loud claps of thunder. And though he rolled his glaring
eyes round on every side, he could not see who had given
him the blow ; yet he took up his iron club, and began to
lay about him like one that was mad.
"
Nay," said Jack,
" if this is the case, I will kill
you
at once." So he slipped nimbly behind him, and jumping
upon the rocky seat as the Giant rose from it, he thrust his
sword up to the hilt in his body. After a hideous howling,
the Giant dropped down dead.
When Jack had thus killed these two monsters, he searched
their cave for treasure. He passed through many dark wind-
ings, which led him to a room paved with freestone ;
at the
end of it was a boiling cauldron, and on the right hand stood
a large table, where the Giants used to dine. He then came
to a window secured with iron bars, through which he saw
a number of wretched captives, who cried out, when they
saw Jack,
cc
Alas ! alas !
young man, are you come to be
one among us in this horrid den ?"
41.
42.
43. andfreeth the Captives,
cf
I
hope," said Jack,
Cf
you will not tarry here long ;
but pray tell me, what is the meaning of your captivity ?"
" Alas 1" said one,
" we have been taken by the Giants
that hold this cave, and are kept till
they have a feast; then
the fattest of us is killed and cooked. It is not long since
they took three for this purpose/'
"
Say you so?" said Jack;
" I have given them such a
dinner that it will be long enough before they want more." The
captives were amazed at his words. " You may believe me,"
E
44. 42 Great feasting and rejoicing.
said Jack ;
" for I have slain both the monsters, and sent their
heads in a wagon to King Arthur, as trophies of my victory."
To shew them that what he said was true, he unlocked
the gate, and set them all free. Then he led them to the
great room, where they feasted plentifully. Supper being
over, they searched the Giant's coffers, and Jack shared the
store among the captives. Jack started at sunrise to the house
of the Knight, whom he had left not long before.
PRESENTLY Jack reached the Knight's castle, where he
was received with the greatest joy. In honour of
the hero's exploits, a grand feast was given, which
lasted many days. The Knight also presented Jack with a
beautiful ring, on which was engraved the Giant dragging the
knight and the lady by the hair, with this motto :
<c
We were in sad distress^ you see,
Under the Giant's farce command.,
But gained our lives and liberty
By valiant Jack's victorious hand."
45. Alarm by the pale Herald. 43
Among the guests present at the feast were five aged gen-
tlemen, who were fathers to some of those captives who had
been freed by Jack from the dungeon. These old men pressed
round him with tears of joy, and returned him thanks. One
day the bowl went round merrily, and every one drank to
the health and long life of the gallant hero. The hall re-
sounded with peals of laughter and joyful cries.
But, lo ! in the midst, a herald, pale and breathless with
haste and terror, rushed in, and told the company, that Thun-
del, a Giant with an immense head, having heard of the death
of his two kinsmen, was come to take revenge on Jack, and
46. 44 Thundel would grind Jack's Bones>
that he was now near the house, and the country-people all
flying before him.
At this dismal news, the very boldest of the guests
trem-
bled; but Jack drew his sword, and said,
Cf
Let him come;
I have a tool to pick his teeth with. Pray, ladies and gen-
tlemen, walk into the garden, and you shall joyfully behold
the Giant's defeat and death."
The knight's castle was surrounded by a moat, thirty feet
deep and twenty wide, over which lay a drawbridge. Jack
set men to work to cut the bridge on both sides, near the
middle ;
and then dressing himself in his invisible coat, went
against the Giant with his sword of sharpness. As he came
close to him, though the Giant could not see him, yet he cried
out,
" Fie !
foh !
fum !
I smell the blood of an Englishman ;
Be he alive or be he dead,
PII
grind his bones to make my bread."
"
Say you so, my friend ?" said Jack ;
cc
you are a clever
miller indeed !"
47. but he maketh sport of him. 45
" Art thou," cried the Giant,
cc
the villain who killed my
kinsmen? Then I will tear thee with my teeth, and grind
thy bones to powder."
" You must catch me first," said Jack ;
and throwing off
his invisible coat, he put on his shoes of swiftness, and began
to run ;
the Giant following him like a walking castle, making
the earth shake at every step.
Jack led him round and round the walls of the castle,
that the company might see the monster ;
and to finish the
work, Jack ran over the drawbridge, the Giant going after

him with his club : but when the
Giant came to the middle, where
the bridge had been cut on both
sides, the great weight of his body
made it break, and he tumbled
into the water, where he rolled
about like a large whale. Jack
now stood by the side of the moat,
and laughed and jeered at him,
saying,
" I think you told me you
would grind my bones to powder ;
when will you begin ?"
The Giant foamed horridly
at the mouth with fury, and
plunged from side to side of the
moat; but he could not get out
to have revenge on his little foe.
At last Jack ordered a cart-rope
to be brought to him ;
he then

drew it over his great head, and by the help of a team of
horses, dragged him to the edge of the moat, where he cut off
the monster's head ;
and before he either ate or drank, he
sent it to the court of King Arthur. He then went back to
the table with the company, and the rest of the day was spent
in mirth and good cheer.
52. 50 The Giant Galligantus
PART THE FOURTH.
;OURTED and flattered as he was, yet after
staying with the Knight and his lady for some
time, Jack grew weary of such an idle life,
and set out again in search of new adventures.
He went over hills and dales without meeting any, till he came
to the foot of a very high mountain. Here he knocked at
the door of a small and lonely house, and an old man, with
a head as white as snow, let him in.
" Good father," said Jack,
" can you lodge a traveller
who has lost his way ?"
"
Yes," said the hermit,
<c
I can, if you will accept such
fare as my poor house affords."
Jack entered, and the old man set before him some bread
and fruit for his supper. When Jack had eaten as much aj
.
he chose, the hermit said,
"
My son, I know you are the famous conqueror of Giants ;
53. and his wicked Magician.
now, at the top of this mountain is an enchanted Castle, kept by
a Giant named Galligantus, who, by the help of a vile Magician,
gets many knights and ladies into his Castle, where he changes
them into the shape of
beasts. Above all, I la-
ment the hard fate of a
duke's daughter, whom
they seized as she was
walking in her father's
garden, and brought hi-
ther through the air in a
chariot drawn by two
fiery dragons, and turned
her into the shape of a
deer. Many knights have
tried to destroy the en-
chantment, and deliver
her ; yet none have been
able to do it, by reason of two fiery Griffins, who guard the
gate of the Castle, and destroy all who come nigh : but as you,
my son, have an invisible coat, you may pass by them with-

out being seen ;
and on the gates of the Castle you will find
engraved by what means the enchantment may be broken."
Jack promised that, in the morning, at the risk of his life,
he would break the enchantment ; and, after a sound sleep, he
arose early, put on his invisible coat, and got ready for the
attempt. When he had climbed to the top of the mountain,
he saw the two fiery Griffins; but he passed between them
without the least fear of danger, for they could not see him
because of his invisible coat. On the Castle-gate hung a
golden trumpet, under which were these lines :
cc
Whoever doth this Trumpet blow.
Shall cause the Giant's overthrow!"
55.
56.
57. Jack overthroweth Galligantus. 55
As soon as Jack had read this, he seized the trumpet, and
blew a shrill blast, which made the gates fly open, and the
very Castle itself tremble. The Giant and the Conjuror now
knew that their wicked course was at an end, and they stood
biting their thumbs, and shaking with fear. Jack, with his
sword of sharpness, soon killed the Giant ; and the Magician
was then carried away by a whirlwind; and every knight and
beautiful lady, who had been changed into birds and beasts,
returned to their proper shapes. The Castle vanished away
like smoke, and the head of the Giant Galligantus was sent
to King Arthur. The knights and ladies rested that night at
the old man's hermitage, and next day set out for the Court.
58. 56 Jack weddetb and liveth content.
Jack then went up to the King, and gave his majesty
an account of all his fierce battles. Jack's fame had spread
through the whole country ; and, at the King's desire, the
Duke gave him his daughter in marriage, to the joy of all
the kingdom. After this, the King gave Jack a large estate,
on which he and his lady lived the rest of their days in joy
and content.
