"_Whoever doth this Trumpet blow,
Shall cause the Giant's overthrow!_"

As soon as Jack had read this, he seized the trumpet, and blew a
shrill blast, which made the gates fly open, and the very Castle
itself tremble. The Giant and the Conjuror now knew that their wicked
course was at an end, and they stood biting their thumbs, and shaking
with fear. Jack, with his sword of sharpness, soon killed the Giant;
and the Magician was then carried away by a whirlwind; and every
knight and beautiful lady, who had been changed into birds and beasts,
returned to their proper shapes. The Castle vanished away like smoke,
and the head of the Giant Galligantus was sent to King Arthur. The
knights and ladies rested that night at he old man's hermitage, and
next day set out for the Court.

Jack then went up to the King, and gave his majesty an account of all
his fierce battles. Jack's fame had spread through the whole country;
and, at the King's desire, the Duke gave him his daughter in marriage,
to the joy of all the kingdom. After this, the King gave Jack a large
estate, on which he and his lady lived the rest of their days in joy
and content.
