Stompe Pilt
"
"No, I have not abused you enough as yet," said the shepherd and aimed another arrow.
"Lead your goats wherever you choose! If I cannot stand your abusive words, I surely will not be able to bear up against your blows," cried Stompe Pilt, and jumped back into his hill.
And that is how the shepherd gained the victory, because he was brave and did not let the stupid giant frighten him.
NOTE
An entertaining parody of the serious tale of David and Goliath is the story of the little shepherd boy's fight with the giant Stompe Pilt. (Hofberg, p. 10).
