Everyone he met told him what a terrible giant Galifron was , and that nobody dared go near him ; and the more he heard , the more frightened he grew . Frisk tried to encourage him by saying : `` While you are fighting the giant , dear master , I will go and bite his heels , and when he stoops down to look at me you can kill him . '' Charming praised his little dog 's plan , but knew that this help would not do much good . At last he drew near the giant 's castle , and saw to his horror that every path that led to it was strewn with bones . Before long he saw Galifron coming . His head was higher than the tallest trees , and he sang in a terrible voice : `` Bring out your little boys and girls , Pray do not stay to do their curls , For I shall eat so very many , I shall not know if they have any . '' Thereupon Charming sang out as loud as he could to the same tune : `` Come out and meet the valiant Charming Who finds you not at all alarming ; Although he is not very tall , He 's big enough to make you fall . '' The rhymes were not very correct , but you see he had made them up so quickly that it is a miracle that they were not worse ; especially as he was horribly frightened all the time . When Galifron heard these words he looked all about him , and saw Charming standing , sword in hand this put the giant into a terrible rage , and he aimed a blow at Charming with his huge iron club , which would certainly have killed him if it had reached him , but at that instant a raven perched upon the giant 's head , and , pecking with its strong beak and beating with its great wings so confused and blinded him that all his blows fell harmlessly upon the air , and Charming , rushing in , gave him several strokes with his sharp sword so that he fell to the ground . Whereupon Charming cut off his head before he knew anything about it , and the raven from a tree close by croaked out : `` You see I have not forgotten the good turn you did me in killing the eagle . To-day I think I have fulfilled my promise of repaying you . '' `` Indeed , I owe you more gratitude than you ever owed me , '' replied Charming . And then he mounted his horse and rode off with Galifron 's head . When he reached the city the people ran after him in crowds , crying : `` Behold the brave Charming , who has killed the giant ! '' And their shouts reached the Princess 's ear , but she dared not ask what was happening , for fear she should hear that Charming had been killed . But very soon he arrived at the palace with the giant 's head , of which she was still terrified , though it could no longer do her any harm . `` Princess , '' said Charming , `` I have killed your enemy ; I hope you will now consent to marry the King my master . '' `` Oh dear ! no , '' said the Princess , `` not until you have brought me some water from the Gloomy Cavern . `` Not far from here there is a deep cave , the entrance to which is guarded by two dragons with fiery eyes , who will not allow anyone to pass them .
When you get into the cavern you will find an immense hole , which you must go down , and it is full of toads and snakes ; at the bottom XXXXX this hole there is another little cave , in which rises the Fountain of Health and Beauty .
