In this 390th issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Fairy Tale "THE GIANT WHO HAD NO HEART IN HIS BODY”.
A king had seven sons. When the first six went off to find brides, he kept the youngest with him because he could not bear to be parted from them all. They were supposed to bring back a bride for him, as well, but they found a king with six daughters and wooed them, forgetting their brother. But when they returned, they passed too close to a giant's castle, and in a fit of rage he turned them all, both princes and princesses, to stone.
When they did not return, the king, their father, tried to prevent their brother from following, but he went anyway. On the way, he gave food to a starving raven, helped a salmon back into the river, and gave a starving wolf his horse to eat. In return the wolf let the prince ride on him and brought him to the giant's castle, telling him to go inside. The prince was reluctant fearing the wrath of the giant, but the wolf persuaded the prince to enter the castle, for there he would encounter not the giant, but the princess the giant kept prisoner.
The princess was very beautiful, and the prince wanted to know how he could kill the giant and set her and his family free. The princess said that there was no way, as the giant did not keep his heart in his body and therefore could not be killed.
What happened next you ask…? Did the prince succeed and set them all free? Well many things happened, some silly and some serious. To find the answers to these questions, and others you may have, you will have to download and read this story to find out for yourself!
