Tale Summary

There was once, in Yorkshire at a place called Dalton, a Giant that was a miller and who used to grind men鈥檚 bones to make bread. One day the giant had caught a boy named Jack, and kept him as his servant for many years, never letting him leave. There was a fair coming to town that the boy very much wanted to attend, but the giant refused. One hot day, the Giant was snoozing in the mill after eating bread, with the knife laying loosely in his hand while he slept. Jack took the knife and stabbed the Giant in his single eye, but the Giant fought back. The Giant had a favorite dog who was in the corner, which Jack stabbed and skinned. He then threw the hide over his shoulders and ran on all fours barking between the Giant鈥檚 legs and so escaped.
