You shall see an example . '' He then took hold of the knife , ripped up the leathern bag , and all the hasty-pudding tumbled out upon the floor . `` Ods splutter hur nails ! '' cried the Welsh giant , who was ashamed to be outdone by such a little fellow as Jack , `` hur can do that hurself '' ; so he snatched up the knife , plunged it into his own stomach , and in a moment dropped down dead . Jack , having hitherto been successful in all his undertakings , resolved not to be idle in future ; he therefore furnished himself with a horse , a cap of knowledge , a sword of sharpness , shoes of swiftness , and an invisible coat , the better to perform the wonderful enterprises that lay before him . He traveled over high hills , and on the third day he came to a large and spacious forest through which his road lay . Scarcely had he entered the forest when he beheld a monstrous giant dragging along by the hair of their heads a handsome knight and his lady . Jack alighted from his horse , and tying him to an oak tree , put on his invisible coat , under which he carried his sword of sharpness . When he came up to the giant he made several strokes at him , but could not reach his body , but wounded his thighs in several places ; and at length , putting both hands to his sword and aiming with all his might , he cut off both his legs . Then Jack , setting his foot upon his neck , plunged his sword into the giant 's body , when the monster gave a groan and expired . The knight and his lady thanked Jack for their deliverance , and invited him to their house , to receive a proper reward for his services . `` No , '' said Jack , `` I can not be easy till I find out this monster 's habitation . '' So , taking the knight 's directions , he mounted his horse and soon after came in sight of another giant , who was sitting on a block of timber waiting for his brother 's return . Jack alighted from his horse , and , putting on his invisible coat , approached and aimed a blow at the giant 's 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 I 'd 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 duke 's daughter , whom they seized as she was walking in her father 's garden , and brought hither transformed into a deer . ''
XXXXX 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 .
