Text Appearing Before Image:
nd as she noticed that he was getting faint she gave hima horn to drink out of, which was very foolish on her part,as it made Sigurd so strong that he soon overthrew her. * You may stay here to-night, said she; and he wasglad of the rest. Next morning Sigurd threw down the ball again andaway it rolled for some time, till it stopped at the foot ofanother high rock. Then he looked up and saw anothergiantess, even bigger and uglier than the first one, whocalled out to him : Ah, this is just what I wanted ! Hereis Prince Sigurd. He shall go into the pot to-night. Comeup quickly and wrestle with me. And she lost no time inhauling him up. The prince gave her his stepmothers message and thesecond largest ring. The giantess was greatly pleasedwhen she saw the ring, and at once challenged Sigurd towrestle with her. They struggled for a long time, till at last Sigurd grev/faint; so she handed him a horn to drink from, and whenhe had drunk he became so strong that he threw her downwith one hand.

You have beaten me,she gasped, so now, listen to me. * Not far from here is alake. Go there ; you will find a little girl playing with aboat. Try to make friends wit
