So Finn sent some of the Fianna to the Giant and they found him living on a bare rock of an island with only a flock of goats for his possessions. Crom Duv lay on his back and laughed when he heard what message the men of the Fianna brought to him.
"Tell me more." "We lads of Offal Court do strive against each other with the cudgel, like to the fashion of the 'prentices, sometimes." The prince's eyes flashed. Said he "Marry, that would not I mislike. Tell me more." "We strive in races, sir, to see who of us shall be fleetest." "That would I like also. Speak on."
