I resolved to take the princes home to their father, each as he lay, in the arms of his country's foe.

But first I searched the giants, and found the keys of their castle, to which I repaired, followed by a great company of the people.

It was a place of wonderful strength.

I released the prisoners, knights and ladies, all in a sad condition, from the cruelties and neglects of the giants.

It humbled me to see them crowding round me with thanks, when in truth the glorious brothers, lying dead by their lonely tower, were those to whom the thanks belonged.
