The ferocious unicorn trapped in the tree. By throwing rocks at the two giants while they sleep, the tailor provokes the pair into fighting each other until they kill each other, at which time the tailor stabs the giants in their hearts. Afraid of being killed for sending him away, the king instead attempts to get rid of the tailor by sending him to defeat two giants along with a hundred horsemen, offering him half his kingdom and his daughter's hand in marriage if the tailor can kill the giants. They tell the king that either the tailor leaves military service or they will. The tailor enters the royal service, but the other soldiers are afraid that he will lose his temper someday, and then seven of them might die with every blow. Upon returning and seeing the tailor alive, the other giants flee in fear of the small man. However, the tailor, having found the bed too large, had slept in the corner. During the night, the giant attempts to kill the tailor by bashing the bed. Impressed, the giant brings the tailor to the giant's home, where other giants live as well. Instead, the tailor climbs on, so the giant carries him as well, but it appears as if the tailor is supporting the branches.
The tailor directs the giant to carry the trunk, while the tailor will carry the branches. Later, the giant asks the tailor to help him carry a tree. The tailor counters the feat by tossing a bird that flies away into the sky the giant believes the small bird is a "rock" which is thrown so far that it never lands. The giant throws a rock far into the air, and it eventually lands. When the giant squeezes water from a boulder, the tailor squeezes milk, or whey, from cheese.
