The author starts with the description of a mill in the long mound called “The Giant’s Grave”. According to the story many years ago a one-eyed Giant owned a mill. He used to ground men’s bones to make bread. Once he caught a guy Jack, who then became his servant. He worked for the Giant for seven years and had no holidays at all. Once he decided to escape. He thrust a knife in the Giant’s single eye when he took a nap and blinded him. But when the Giant woke up he locked the door. Then Jack came up with another plan.
