本安多纳将士跨过爱尔兰海,脚步震颤整个地球寻找芬麦考尔。找到之后,芬麦考尔站在那里很矮又很强壮,他笑得轻松自在。“您是本安多纳将士?”芬麦考尔问他。本安多纳将士点头,心中充满了骄傲。
恰好这时候,芬麦考尔的妻子欧娜出现在他们家门口下面,怀里抱着一只新生儿小孩。两位巨人惊奇地望着彼此,比较着自己的孩子。 本安多纳将士大吃一惊,他意识到他的孩子远比芬麦考尔的小孩子要矮得多。
本安多纳将士转过身子就跑了回去爱尔兰海的那边,他的心里十分伤痛。他从那天起再也没有说出自己的力量或大小来。至于芬麦考尔呢?他站在潮平落潮的岩石上,看着太阳升起在爱尔兰海上,知道即使最小的小事也能给人很大的快乐。
岁月流转,人们来到本安多纳将士踩过的那条路上的地方,他们发现了巨人的脚印在岩石上。 他们把它叫做巨人之路,证明即使是最强大的巨人也可以谦逊和善良。
