A workman made me a little wooden house. It was a box with a bed, a chair, a table and two windows. One summer the King and Queen went to the sea, and Glumdalclitch and I went with them. One day a boy carried my box to the beach. Suddenly a big eagle took the box in its claws and flew away with it over the sea. Then it let the box fall into the water. I was alone in my little house on the waves. After some hours an English ship found me. The sailors were very surprised. I spoke very loudly, because for two years I talked to giants. I came home at last. But for a long time my family and my house looked very small to me.
