"Ah, my darling," said he, "there's big Benandonner coming over to have a fight and as I'm not very well to-day, I don't like to meet him." Now, Mrs.
Bold Benandonner accepted the challenge, and began to wade across threatening and bullying his Irish enemy. As he drew near, he seemed to grow so much bigger, that Fin got frightened, and turned and ran into his house, which stood near the cliff. "What's the matter, Fin?" said his wife, who saw what a tremble he was in, and how pale he looked.
Benandonner looked down into the cradle, and seeing that enormous giant lying there, with his feet hanging over the foot-board, thought to himself, "if Fin's baby is so big, what must Fin himself be!" and became so frightened that he turned and hurried back home, much quicker than he came.
Presently, Benandonner came stamping and storming in, and asked for "that rascal, Fin Mac Cual." "If you'll please sit down and rock my baby a minute I'll go and look for him," said Mrs. Mac Cual.
By the way, I was told while here, a ludicrous little anecdote of the great Fin, from which it seems that he was not, after all, quite as brave as a giant should be. It is said that when he had finished the Causeway, he went up on a high point and shouted across the channel to the Scotch Giant, Benandonner, to come over and fight him, if he dared.
