Every day when they went out to hunt she would take the broom and make the palace neat and clean. They called her "little sister" and loved her with all their big giant hearts. All was well until a little bird went and told Angelita's step-mother that she was alive and living in the depths of the jungle with the three giants.

Then she showed the step-mother just how to reach the palace where Angelita lived in the depths of the jungle with the three giants. Angelita's step-mother followed the directions which the witch had given her and easily found the giants' palace. Angelita was so happy living with the giants and keeping house for them that she had forgotten what fear was like.

Angelita looked at the little slippers. They were like the slippers which her dear father, the image-maker, had once brought home to her. "How kind it was in my step-mother to bring these slippers to me," she said as she put them on. As soon as the slippers were on Angelita's feet, she fell dead just as the wicked witch had promised the step-mother she would do.

"Be sure that you bring back the tip of Angelita's tongue, so that I may know that you have obeyed my order," she said. Angelita was very happy to be taken out of the little attic room, and set out for a walk with the old negro with a light heart. They walked through the city streets and out into the open country. Soon they had reached the deep jungle.
