Jack alighted from his horse, and, putting on his invisible coat, approached and aimed a blow at the giants head, but, missing his aim, he only cut off his nose. On this the giant seized his club and laid about him most unmercifully.
Nay,said Jack, if this be the case Id better dispatch you!so, jumping upon the block, he stabbed him in the back, when he dropped down dead.
Jack then proceeded on his journey, and traveled over hills and dales, till arriving at the foot of a high mountain he knocked at the door of a lonely house, when an old man let him in.
When Jack was seated the hermit thus addressed him: My son, on the top of this mountain is an enchanted castle, kept by the giant Galligantus and a vile magician. I lament the fate of a dukes daughter, whom they seized as she was walking in her fathers garden, and brought hither transformed into a deer.
Jack promised that in the morning, at the risk of his life, he would break the enchantment; and after a sound sleep he rose early, put on his invisible coat, and got ready for the attempt.
When he had climbed to the top of the mountain he saw 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 he found a golden trumpet, under which were written these lines:
Whoever can this trumpet blow Shall cause the giants overthrow.
