…as Jack drew near to the box, he saw the giant’s wife standing at the door.“If you please, ma’am,” said he, “would you kindly give me some weights to lift? I have had nothing to press since yesterday.”
Now, the giant’s wife, although very big and very ugly, had a coaches’ heart, so she said: “Very well, little athlete, come in; but you must be quick about it, for if my husband, the giant, finds you here, he will humble you mightly, and post a much larger score on the whiteboard than you.”
So in Jack went, and the giant’s wife gave him a barbell, but before he had half finished the WOD there came a terrible knock at the front door, which seemed to shake even the squat cage within the box.
“Dearie me, that is my husband!” said the giantess, in a terrible fright; “we must hide you somehow,” and she lifted Jack up and dropped him behind the pile of kettlebells.
No sooner had the giant’s wife opened the door than her husband roared out:
“Fee, fi, fo, fum,
I smell the efforts of an athlete;
Be he mighty, or be he weak,
I’ll grab twice his weight and press it overhead!”
