Jack the Giant-Killer

Jack was the son of a farmer, and lived in the days of King Arthur. He was brave and intelligent and became famous for killing a lot of giants. Jack first killed the giant of Mount Cornwall by using a trick. He dug a pit, covered it with branches and earth, and then lured the giant into it. Later he got from another giant four marvelous things—again by using tricks. The four things were an invisible coat, a cap of wisdom, shoes of swiftness, and a resistless sword. When he put on his coat no eye could see him; when he had his shoes on no one could catch up with him; his sword would cut through everything, and when put on his cap he knew everything he wanted to know. With the help of these, he destroyed all the giants.

【中文譯文】

據說杰克是個農夫的兒子，生活在亞瑟王時代。他既勇敢又聰明，由于殺死巨人而揚名。杰克最初殺死的是康沃爾山巨人。他挖了一個陷阱，上面蓋上樹枝和土，然后引誘巨人落入陷阱。后來，他又用計謀從另一個巨人那里騙得了四件寶物：隱身衣、知識帽、快行鞋、無敵劍。披上隱身衣，敵人就看不見他；戴上知識帽，他就無所不知；穿上快行鞋，他疾走如飛；揮起無敵劍，他所向披靡。靠這四件寶物他除掉了所有的巨人。
