The Giant’s Wife is a tale from Ireland about a giant named Finn MacCool.
Another giant named Cuhullin wants to fight Finn to prove he is the strongest.
Cuhullin has already defeated every other giant in Ireland.
Finn feels worried when he learns that Cuhullin is looking for him.
His wife, Oona, notices his fear and decides to help him.
She makes a clever plan to protect her husband.
Oona hides heavy iron plates inside some bread loaves.
She tells Finn to dress like a baby and lie in a cradle.
When Cuhullin arrives, he easily turns the house around, showing his great strength.
He bites the bread and breaks his teeth because of the iron plates inside.
Finn, pretending to be a baby, eats the bread without iron
Oona suggested Cuhullin test the baby's strength
Finn bites off Cuhullin’s finger, which gives him strength and Cuhullin lose his strength.
Frightened and weak, Cuhullin runs away, and Oona’s clever plan saves Finn.
