"Giantland is a long distance from my kingdom and I do not know the way there." The king, the queen, and all the courtiers held their breaths to listen to the reply of the little old woman. "Your Majesty will need to build a strong fleet to sail up the great river which leads to Giantland," she said.
Then we will go together to our father with the water from the fountain of Giantland. When his sight is restored we will share his blessing and the honors of the kingdom. We will claim no knowledge of our youngest brother." This is what the two eldest princes did. The youngest prince was cast ashore when he was asleep.
"The expedition will need as its leader a prince with a brave heart, for there will be many perils on the way to test his mettle.

He climbed steadily on and on, looking neither to the right nor to the left, even though he heard the voices of the giants shouting at him, and from the corners of his eyes could see the giant forms along the pathway.
He set a bottle for the water of the fountain of Giantland carefully upon his head and slowly ascended the steep path. He kept his eyes fixed straight ahead.
