Then the giant threw a rock far away. "How was that?" he said. "Nothing, new," said the tailor. "It still fell down to the Earth, didn't it?" Then the tailor took the bird out of his pocket and threw it in the air. The bird flew out of sight. The giant was so surprised to see this that he couldn't breathe. After a while, the giant pointed to a huge tree and said. "Well,if you're so strong, help me carry this tree." "Certainly," said the tailor. "You take the trunk and I'll carry the other end, which is much heavier." The giant walked in the front so he could not see that the tailor was sitting in the branches. The tailor enjoyed the trip on the tree so much that he soon fell asleep. But after a while, the giant woke him up. "I'm tired," he shouted." "I have to put this tree down for a minute." The tailor quickly jumped down and said" I guess you're not so strong as you think."
