Based on Nepalese folk tales
“Get out. We don’t want you here”, said the eldest brother to the two youngest brothers. One was blind. They called him ‘“No-eyes”. The other was lame and could not walk. They called him “Peg leg”.
“Let’s go together” said No-eyes. “I can carry you and you can show me the way”.
So the two brothers walked slowly down the road away from their home. They passed a ‘ping’ with an old rope. “Let’s take the rope”, said Peg-leg. “I will carry it”. A minute later Peg-leg saw a beautiful white stone.
“Let’s take it. It is heavy but beautiful”. A little letter they saw an old nanglo. Peg-leg wanted to take it.
“We have no rice, and no one to cook for us”, said No-eyes. But they picked up the nanglo and took it with them. That evening they arrived at a house. An old woman came out.
“Go away quickly”, she said.
“Every evening giants come here and take someone to eat. We all send one person every evening. Tonight it is my turn. I will die soon. Please go quickly. But Peg-legged and No-eyes asked to stay. Soon two giants came. “What a good smell! We will have a good supper tonight”, one said. Giants enjoy eating young men very much.
“We are waiting for you”, shouted No-eyes. The giants were surprised. Usually, no one spoke because they were so frightened.
“Throw your ears out here. We will eat them first”, said the first giant.
“Here is my little son’s ear”, shouted No-eyes, and he threw the nanglo outside. The giants looked at the big nanglo. This was a baby’s ear! How big was the father?
The second giant called, “Show us your teeth”.
Peg-leg threw the big white stone outside. The giants began to tremble. “What an enormous tooth!” they thought. “And here is a hair from my head”, shouted Peg-leg, and he threw the rope outside.
The giants were terrified. They turned and ran away as fast as they could. They never came back, and Peg-leg and No-eyes stayed happily in the house for ever.
