'Do not heed him, said the horses to the weeping woman, 'put him in front of us, where he will be safe, and give him food for he is weary. And she did as the horses told her, and he ate and rested, till by and bye a long shadow fell over them, and their hearts beat with fear, for they knew that the giant was coming.
