The valiant little tailorC3
The way led over a mountain, and when he reached the topmost peak he saw a terrible giant sitting there, and looking about him at his ease. The tailor went bravely up to him, called out to him, and said, "Comrade, good day! there you sit looking over the wide world! I am on the way thither to seek my fortune: have you a fancy to go with me?"
The giant looked at the tailor contemptuously, and said, "You little rascal! you miserable fellow!" - "That may be!" answered the little tailor, and undoing his coat he showed the giant his belt; "you can read there whether I am a man or not!" The giant read: "Seven at one blow!" and thinking it meant men that the tailor had killed, felt at once more respect for the little fellow. But as he wanted to prove him, he took up a stone and squeezed it so hard that water came out of it. "Now you can do that," said the giant, "that is, if you have the strength for it."
走着走着，来到一座大山上。 他到了山顶一看，发现一个力大无比的巨人正坐在那儿，悠然自得地环顾左右。 小裁缝壮着胆子走到巨人跟前，跟他打招呼：
"你好，伙计。你坐在这儿眺望大世界，是吧？我正要去闯闯世界咧，怎么样，有没有心思跟我一快儿去？"
巨人轻蔑地瞟了他一眼，扯着嗓子对他说："你这个小可怜虫！弱不禁风的小瘪三！"
"啊哈，你这么小看我，是吗？你再往这儿瞧瞧！"小裁缝回答道。 说着解开上衣，露出腰带来给巨人看。 "你念一念就知道我是何等人啦。"
巨人念了起来："一下子打死七个"。 以为这位裁缝一下子打死的是七个人，心里不禁对小裁缝产生几分敬意。 不过，他决心要和小裁缝先试试身手，于是，就拣起一快石头来，用手使劲一捏，捏得石头滴出了水。
"要是你真有力气，"巨人说，"也来这么一手吧。"
