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 . '' 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 giant 's overthrow . '' As soon as Jack had read this he seized the trumpet and blew a shrill blast , which made the gates fly open and the very castle itself tremble . The giant and the conjurer now knew that their wicked course was at an end , and they stood biting their thumbs and shaking with fear . Jack , with his sword of sharpness , soon killed the giant , and the magician was then carried away by a whirlwind ; and every knight and beautiful lady who had been changed into birds and beasts returned to their proper shapes . The castle vanished away like smoke , and the head of the giant Galligantus was then sent to King Arthur . The knights and ladies rested that night at the old man 's hermitage , and next day they set out for the Court . Jack then went up to the King , and gave his Majesty an account of all his fierce battles . Jack 's fame had now spread through the whole country , and at the King 's desire the duke gave him his daughter in marriage , to the joy of all his kingdom . After this the King gave him a large estate , on which he and his lady lived the rest of their days in joy and contentment . -LRB- 1 -RRB- -LRB- 1 -RRB- Old Chapbook .
