You can throw well enough, said the giant, but now lets see if you are able to carry anything proper. He led the little tailor to a mighty oak tree that had been cut down and was lying on the ground. He said, If you are strong enough, then help me carry this tree out of the woods.
Gladly, answered the little man. You take the trunk on your shoulder, and I will carry the branches and twigs. After all, they are the heaviest.
The giant lifted the trunk onto his shoulder, but the tailor sat down on a branch, and the giant, who could not see behind himself, had to drag long the entire tree, with the little tailor sitting on top. Cheerful and in good spirits, he whistled the song There Were Three Tailors Who Rode Out to the Gate, as though carrying a tree were childs play.
The giant, after dragging the heavy load a little way, could not go any further, and he called out, Listen, I have to drop the tree.
The tailor jumped down agilely, took hold of the tree with both arms, as though he had been carrying it, and said to the giant, You are such a big fellow, and you cant even carry a tree.
They walked on together until they came to a cherry tree. The giant took hold of the treetop where the ripest fruit was hanging, bent it down, and put it into the tailors hand, inviting him to eat. However, the little tailor was much too weak to hold the tree, and when the giant let go, the tree sprang upward, throwing the tailor into the air. When he fell back to earth, without injury, the giant said, What? You dont have enough strength to hold that little switch?
