A giant (巨人) lived in a great castle (城堡). Each of its hundred doors was guarded by a huge dog.
The giant hated the King because the King was richer than him. One day, he carried off Prince Conor,
the King's son, and locked (锁) him in a tower.
The Prince could not escape( 逃脱) from the high tower. The King and his men were too afraid to
go near the castle to help him. One morning, the Prince saw a little white cat standing just outside his
window. He told the cat his sad story.
Quickly, the cat ran away and told Princess Diana about the Prince in the high tower. Diana
promised to help the Prince. Before she left, she made a hundred magic cakes and made a magic net.
When the Princess reached the giant's castle, she fed the dogs the magic cakes. Each dog fell asleep
when they ate the cakes.
Quietly, she entered the castle and went up the stairs of tower. But the giant heard her footsteps and
came rushing down. When the giant came near, Diana threw the magic net over his head. Even a strong
giant could not free himself from this net. Prince Conor was free at last.
