- [101](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg976/8/101/) — So it proved with the poor Giant, whom I am really a little sorry for, notwithstanding his uncivil way of treating strangers who came to visit him.
- [102](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg976/8/102/) — When his strength and breath were quite gone, Hercules gave his huge body a toss, and flung it about a mile off, where it fell heavily, and lay with no more motion than a sand hill.
- [103](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg976/8/103/) — It was too late for the Giant's Mother Earth to help him now; and I should not wonder if his ponderous bones were lying on the same spot to this very day, and were mistaken for those of an uncommonly large elephant.
- [104](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg976/8/104/) — But, alas me!
- [105](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg976/8/105/) — What a wailing did the poor little Pygmies set up when they saw their enormous brother treated in this terrible manner!
- [106](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg976/8/106/) — If Hercules heard their shrieks, however, he took no notice, and perhaps fancied them only the shrill, plaintive twittering of small birds that had been frightened from their nests by the uproar of the battle between himself and Antaeus.
- [107](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg976/8/107/) — Indeed, his thoughts had been so much taken up with the Giant, that he had never once looked at the Pygmies, nor even knew that there was such a funny little nation in the world.
- [108](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg976/8/108/) — And now, as he had traveled a good way, and was also rather weary with his exertions in the fight, he spread out his lion's skin on the ground, and, reclining himself upon it, fell fast asleep.
