Excerpt: ... the Cook-house, and a great noise of rattling was coming from within it. "What noise is that in the Cook-house?" Mell asked a groom. "The Cook's son is going out to fight," said the groom, "and he is striking the pot-lids with the ladles to let everyone in the Cook-house know how fierce he is." "And who is the Cook's son going to fight?" asked Mell the Hen-wife's son. "He is going to fight a great Champion that has come up from the sea in a boat that moves Pg 95 itself. This Champion demands that the King pay tribute to him. And the King has offered his daughter and half his kingdom to the youth who will go down to the sea-shore and defeat this Champion.

But the Cook's son, when he had come to the shore, looked round and found a little cave in the face of the rock and climbed into it. Then a boat that moved of itself came in from the sea, and a Champion all in red sprang out of it. And when he had touched the shingles he struck his sword on his shield and he shouted "If the King of this Land has a Champion equal to Pg 96 the fray let him forth against me. And if the King of the Land has no such Champion, let him pay me tribute from his Kingdom." Mell looked to the cave where the Cook's son had hidden himself and all he saw there was a bush being pulled towards the opening to hide it. Then Mell the Hen-wife's son drew his sword and went down the beach towards the Red Champion. They fought for half the day.
