a mighty bull�察�snorting and running。 

     And the two bulls at it and fought。 They knocked the hard ground into 

soft�察�the soft   into hard�察�the   rocks into spring wells�察�and   the spring   wells 

into rocks。 It was a terrible fight。 But in the end�察�Billy Beg's bull was too 

much for the other bull�察�and he killed him�察�and drank his blood。 

     Then Billy jumped on the bull's back�察�and the bull off and away�察�where 

you wouldn't know day from night or night from day�察�over high hills�察�low 

hills�察�sheep walks and bullock traces�察�the Cove o' Cork�察�and old Tom Fox 

with his bugle horn。 And when he stopped he told Billy to put his hand in 

his left ear and pull out the napkin�察�because he'd to fight another great bull 

of   the   forest。   So   Billy   pulled   out   the   napkin   and   spread   it�察  �and   it   was 

covered with all kinds of eating and drinking�察�fit for a king。 

     And�察�sure enough�察 �just as   Billy finished   eating�察�there  was a  frightful 

roar�察�and a mighty great bull�察�greater than the first�察�rushed out of the forest。 

And the two bulls at it and fought。 It was a terrible fight� �They knocked 

the hard ground into soft�察�the soft into hard�察�the rocks into spring wells�察�

and the spring wells into rocks。 But in the end�察�Billy Beg's bull killed the 

other bull�察�and drank his blood。 

     Then he off and away�察�with Billy。 

     But when he came down�察�he told Billy Beg that he was to fight another

bull�察�the brother of the other two�察�and that this time the other bull would be 

too much for him�察�and would kill him and drink his blood。 

     ;When I am dead�察�Billy�察�my boy�察─�he said�察 �put your hand in my left 

ear and draw out the napkin�察�and you'll never want for eating or drinking�察�

and put your hand in my right ear�察�and you'll find a stick there�察�that will 

turn into a sword if you wave it three times round your head�察�and give you 

the strength of a thousand men beside your own。 Keep that�察�then cut a strip 

of my hide�察�for a belt�察�for when you buckle it on�察�there's nothing can kill 

you。; 

     Billy Beg was very sad to hear that his friend must die。 And very soon 

he heard a more dreadful roar than ever he heard�察�and a tremendous bull 

rushed out of the forest。 Then came the worst fight of all。 In the end�察�the 

other bull was too much for Billy Beg's bull�察�and he killed him and drank 

his blood。 

     Billy Beg sat down and cried for three days and three nights。 After that 

he was hungry�察�so he put his hand in the bull's left ear�察�and drew out the 

napkin�察�and ate all kinds of eating and drinking。 Then he put his hand in 

the   right   ear   and   pulled   out   the   stick   which   was   to   turn   into   a   sword   if 

waved   round   his   head   three   times�察  �and   to   give   him   the   strength   of   a 

thousand men beside his own。 And he cut a strip of the hide for a belt�察�and 

started off on his adventures。 

     Presently   he   came   to   a   fine   place�察  �an   old   gentleman   lived   there。   So 

Billy went up and knocked�察�and the old gentleman came to the door。 

     ;Are you wanting a boy�拭─�says Billy。 

     ;I am wanting a herd´boy�察─�says the gentleman�察 �to take my six cows�察�

six horses�察�six donkeys�察�and six goats to pasture every morning�察�and bring 

them back at night。 Maybe you'd do。; 

     ;What are the wages�拭─�says Billy。 

     ;Oh�察�well�察─�says the gentleman�察 �it's no use to talk of that now�察�there's 

three giants live in the wood by the pasture�察�and every day they drink up 

all the milk and kill the boy that looks after the cattle�察�so we'll wait to talk 

about wages till we see if you come back alive。; 

     ;All right�察─�says Billy�察�and he entered service with the old gentleman。 

     The first day�察�he drove the six cows�察�six horses�察�six donkeys�察�and six

                HOW TO TELL STORIES TO CHILDREN AND SOME STORIES TO TELL 



goats to   pasture�察 �and   sat down   by  them。 About   noon he   heard   a   kind   of 

roaring from the wood�察�and out rushed a giant with two heads�察�spitting fire 

out of his two mouths。 

     ;Oh�   �my   fine    fellow�察─  �says   he   to  Billy�察  �you   are  too   big  for   one 

swallow and not big enough for two�察�how would you like to die�察�then�拭�By 

a cut with the sword�察�a blow with the fist or a swing by the back�拭─�

     ;That is as may be�察─�says Billy�察 �but I'll fight you。; And he buckled on 

his hide belt and swung his stick three times round his head�察�to give him 

the strength of a thousand men besides   his own�察�and went for the   giant。 

And at the first grapple Billy Beg lifted the giant up and sunk him in the 

ground�察�to his armpits。 

     ;Oh�察�mercy� �mercy� �Spare my life� ─�cried the giant。 

     ;I think not�察─�said Billy�察�and he cut off his heads。 

     That night�察�when the cows and the goats were driven home�察�they gave 

so much milk that all the dishes in the house were filled and the milk ran 

over and made a little brook in the yard。 

     ;This   is   very   queer�察─  �said   the   old   gentleman�察   �they   never   gave   any 

milk before。 Did you see nothing in the pasture�拭─�

     ;Nothing worse than myself�察─�said Billy。 And next morning he drove 

the six cows�察�six horses�察�six donkeys�察�and six goats to pasture again。 

     Just before noon he heard a terrific roar�察�and out of the wood came a 

giant with six heads。 

     ;You killed my brother�察─�he roared�察�fire coming out of his six mouths�察�

;and I'll very soon have your blood� �Will you die by a cut of the sword�察�or 

a swing by the back�拭─�

     ;I'll fight you�察─�said Billy。 And buckling on his belt and swinging his 

stick three times round his head�察�he ran in and grappled the giant。 At the 

first hold�察�he sunk the giant up to the shoulders in the ground。 

     ;Mercy�察�mercy�察�kind gentleman� ─�cried the giant。 ;Spare my life� ─�

     ;I think not�察─�said Billy�察�and cut off his heads。 

     That night the cattle gave so much milk that it ran out of the house and 

made   a   stream�察  �and   turned   a   mill   wheel   which   had   not   been   turned   for 

seven years� �

     ;It's  certainly    very   queer�察─   �said  the   old  gentleman�察      �did   you   see

nothing in the pasture�察�Billy�拭─�

     ;Nothing worse than myself�察─�said Billy。 

     And the next morning the gentleman said�察 �Billy�察�do you know�察�I only 

heard one of the giants roaring in the night�察�and the night before only two。 

What can ail them�察�at all�拭─�

     ;Oh�察�maybe they are sick or something�察─�says Billy�察�and with that he 

drove the six cows�察�six horses�察�six donkeys�察�and six goats to pasture。 

     At about ten o'clock there was a roar like a dozen bulls�察�and the brother 

of the two giants came out of the wood�察�with twelve heads on him�察�and fire 

spouting from every one of them。 

     ;I'll have you�察�my fine boy�察─�cries he�察 �how will you die�察�then�拭─�

     ;We'll see�察─�says Billy�察 �come on� ─�

     And   swinging   his   stick   round   his   head�察  �he   made   for   the   giant�察  �and 

drove him up to his twelve necks in the ground。 All twelve of the heads 

began begging for mercy�察�but Billy soon out them short。 Then he drove the 

beasts home。 

     And that night the milk overflowed the mill´ stream and made a lake�察�

nine   miles   long�察  �nine   miles   broad�察  �and   nine   miles   deep�察  �and   there   are 

salmon and whitefish there to this day。 

     ;You are a fine boy�察─�said the gentleman�察 �and I'll give you wages。; 

     So Billy was herd。 

     The next day�察�his master told him to look after the house while he went 

up to the king's town�察�to see a great sight。 ;What will it be�拭─�said Billy。 

;The   king's   daugh
