V . The Giants ’ Cave “ You are a brave little man , ” says the giant . “ Come with me to our cave . You can stay the night with us . ” The little tailor is happy to go with him . In the cave there are more giants . They are sitting round a big fire . Each giant has a whole roast sheep in his hands . They are all eating . The little tailor looks round the cave . “ There is much more room here than in my little workshop , ” he thinks . The giant shows him a bed . “ You can sleep here , ” he says . But the bed is much too big for the little tailor . He does not lie down in it . He goes into a corner of the cave , and he sleeps there . In the middle of the night , the giant gets up . He thinks the little tailor is in the big bed , fast asleep . He takes a heavy iron bar . He hits the bed with it . Crash ! The bed breaks in two . “ There ! ” thinks the giant . “ That is the end of that little grasshopper ! ” Early in the morning , the giants go out into the forest . They forget all about the little tailor . But then , all at once , here he comes ! The little tailor walks up to them . He is merry , and he is not afraid at all . The giants look at him , and they are very afraid . “ He is alive ! ” they think . “ Now he will kill us all ! ” And they run away very fast . VI . At the King’s Palace The little tailor walks on and on . He just follows his nose . He walks for a long time . At last he comes to a big yard in front of a king’s palace . He is tired , so he lies down on the grass . Soon he is asleep . People come and look at him . They walk round him and look at him from every side . Then they read the words on his belt : SEVEN AT ONE BLOW . “ Oh ! ” they say . “ A great fighter ! What is he doing here ? There is no war now . He must be a very great lord . ” They go to the king . They tell him about the little man . “ Your Majesty ! ” they say . “ If a war comes , this man will be a big help to us . Do not let him go away ! ” The king likes this idea . He sends one of his men to the tailor . “ Wait until he wakes up , ” says the king . “ Then ask him to be a soldier in my army . ” The king’s man goes to the sleeping tailor . He stands next to him , and he waits . At last the tailor opens his eyes . He stretches his arms and legs . The king’s man tells him what the king wants . “ That is just why I came here , ” says the tailor . “ I am ready to work for the king . ” So the king’s people are very kind to him . They give him a house of his own . But the king’s soldiers do not like the little tailor . They want him to go far , far away .
