Quote #10

There was only one disaster. Three silly men who had drunk too much beer for lunch decided to climb over the high fence surrounding the pit, and of course they fell in. There were yells of delight from the giants below, followed by the crunching of bones. (23.12)

There’s something especially gory about the sound of human bones crunching. It reminds us that even though the giants are trapped in a hole, they’re just as powerful as ever. At least they’re only powerful inside the hole, though. If you needed convincing not to drink too much beer, now you have it.
