Both sides now attack him on either hand , and the feet kick him severely . `` No kicking ! '' said Dick . `` Nonsense ; all fair in war ! '' said the Giant . But do not let us pursue this sanguinary encounter in all its horrible details . Let us also remember -- otherwise the scene would be too painful for an elegant mind to contemplate with entertainment -- that the Giant was in excellent training , and thought no more of a few wounds than you do of a crack on the leg from a cricket-ball . He well deserved the title given him by the Fancy , of `` The Giant who does not Know when he has had Enough . '' * * * * * The contest was over ; Dick was resting on a rock . The lists were strewn with interesting but imperfect fragments of the Giant , when a set of double teeth of enormous size flew up out of the ground and caught Ricardo by the throat ! In vain he strove to separate the teeth , when the crow , stooping from the heavens , became the Princess Jaqueline , and changed Dick into a wren -- a tiny bird , so small that he easily flew out of the jaws of the Giant and winged his way to a tree , whence he watched the scene . But the poor Princess Jaqueline ! To perform the feat of changing Dick into a bird she had , of course , according to all the laws of magic , to resume her own natural form ! There she stood , a beautiful , trembling maiden , her hands crossed on her bosom , entirely at the mercy of the Giant ! No sooner had Dick escaped than the monster began to collect himself ; and before Jaqueline could muster strength to run away or summon to her aid the lessons of the Fairy Paribanou , the Giant who never Knew when he had Enough was himself again . A boy might have climbed up a tree -LRB- for giants are no tree-climbers , any more than the grizzly bear -RRB- , but Jaqueline could not climb . She merely stood , pale and trembling . She had saved Dick , but at an enormous sacrifice , for the sword and the Seven - league Boots were lying on the trampled grass . He had not brought the Cap of Darkness , and , in the shape of a wren , of course he could not carry away the other articles . Dick was rescued , that was all , and the Princess Jaqueline had sacrificed herself to her love for him .
The Giant picked himself up and pulled himself together , as we said , and then approached Jaqueline XXXXX a very civil way , for a person of his breeding , head in hand .
