Cisco CCNA Certification Exam 640-802
|
He thought he would gather dry fuel, and that he would set on fire.
He began to warm himself, and he was not long thus when the hoary hawk
of the grey rock came on him. "Oov! oov!" said she, "Bad was the plight
of thy wife and thy two horses last night with the big giant." "There
is no help for

little of their benefit myself." "Catch courage," said she. "Thou wilt
get something of their benefit yet. Thou must not be without meat
here," said she. There is no contrivance for getting meat," said he.
"We will not be long getting meat," said the falcon. She went, and she
was not long when she came with three ducks and eight blackcocks in her
mouth. They set their meat in order, and they took it. "Thou must not
be without sleep," said the falcon. "How shall I sleep without a
warranty over me, to keep me from any one evil that is here." "Sleep
thou, king, and I will warrant thee." He let himself down, stretched
out, and he slept.
p. 9
In the morning, the falcon set him on foot. "Hardship or difficulty
that comes on thee, mind, at any time, that thou wilt get my help." He
went swiftly, sturdily. The night was coming, and the little birds of
the forest of branching bushy trees, were talking about the briar roots
and the twig tops; and if they were, it was stillness, not peace for
him, till be came to the side of a great river that was there, and at
the bank of the river there was the forming of the site of a fire. The
king blew a heavy, little spark of fire. He was not long here when
there came as company for him the brown otter of the river. "Och! och!"
said the otter, "Bad was the plight of thy wife and thy two horses last
night with the giant." "There is no help for it. I got much of their
trouble and little of their benefit." "Catch courage, before mid-day
to-morrow thou wilt see thy wife. Oh! king, thou must not be without
meat," said the otter. "How is meat to be got here?" said the king. The
otter went through the river, and she came and three salmon with her,
that were splendid. They made meat, and they took it. Said the otter to
the king, "Thou must sleep." How can I sleep without any warranty over
me? Sleep thou, and I will warrant thee." The king slept. In the
morning, the otter said to him, "Thou wilt be this night in presence of
thy wife." He left blessing with the otter. "Now," said the otter, "if
difficulty be on thee, ask my aid and thou shalt get it." The king went
till he reached a rock, and he looked down into a chasm that was in the
rock, and at the bottom he saw his wife and his two horses, and he did
not know how be should get where they were. He went round till he came
to the foot of the rock, and there was a fine road for going in. He
went in,

and if he went it was then

she began crying. "Ud! ud!" said he, "this is bad! If thou art
crying now when I myself have got so much trouble coming about thee."
"Oo!" said the horses, "set him in front of us, and there is no fear
for him, till we leave this." She made meat for him, and she set him to
rights, and when they were a while together, she put him in front of
the horses. When the giant came, he said, "The smell of the stranger is
within." Says she, "My treasure! My joy and my cattle! there is nothing
but the smell of the litter of the horses." At the end of a while he
went to give meat to the horses, and the horses began at him, and they
all but killed him, and he hardly crawled from them. "Dear thing," said
she, "they are like to kill thee." "If I myself had my soul to keep,
it's long since they had killed me," said he. "Where, dear, is thy
soul? By the books I will take care of it." "It is," said he, "in the
Bonnach stone." When he went on the morrow, she set the Bonnach stone
in order exceedingly. In the time of dusk and lateness, the giant came
home. She set her man in front of the horses. The giant went to give
the horses meat and they mangled him more and more. "What made thee set
the Bonnach stone in order like that?" said he. "Because thy soul is in
it." "I perceive that if thou didst know where my soul is, thou wouldst
give it much respect." "I would give (that)," said she. "It is not
there," said he, "my soul is; it is in the threshold." She set in order
the threshold finely on the morrow. When the giant returned, he went to
give meat to the horses, and the horses mangled him more and more.
"What brought thee to set the threshold in order

like that?" "Because
thy soul is in it." "I perceive if thou knewest where my soul is, that
thou wouldst take
p. 11
care of it." "I would take that," said she. "It is not there that my
soul is," said he. "There is a great flagstone under the threshold.
There is a wether under the flag. There is a duck in the wether's
belly, and an egg in the belly of the duck, and it is in the egg that
my soul is." When the giant went away on the morrow's day, they raised
the flagstone and out went the wether. "If I had the slim dog of the
greenwood, he would not be long bringing the wether to me." The slim
dog of the greenwood came with the wether in his mouth. When they
opened the wether, out was the duck on the wing with the other ducks.
"If I had the Hoary Hawk of the grey rock, she would not be long
bringing the duck to me." The Hoary Hawk of the grey rock came with the
duck in her mouth; when they split the duck to take the egg from her
belly, out went the egg into the depth of the ocean. "If I had the
brown otter of the river, he would not be long bringing the egg to me."
The brown otter came and the ego, in her mouth, and the queen caught
the egg, and she crushed it between her two hands. The giant was coming
in the lateness, and when she crushed the egg, he fell down dead, and
he has never yet moved out of that. They took with them a great deal of
his gold and silver. They passed a cheery night with the brown otter of
the river, a night with the hoary falcon of the grey rock, and a night
with the slim dog of the greenwood. They came home and they set in
order "a CUIRM CURAIDH CRIDHEIL," a hearty hero's feast, and they were
lucky and well pleased after that.
