My opinion in this story is the little tailor is very wise to deceived the giants. I never thought that even though, the giants has a bigger size than the little tailor but he managed to defeat the giants because of his wisdom. For example, when the giants challenged the little tailor, the giants took a stone in his hand and squeezed it so that water will dropped out of it. Then, the little tailor put his hand into the pocket, brought out the soft cheese and squeezed it until the liquid ran out. I wonder about why the giants wants to kill the little tailor because the little tailor did the right things. I notice that the king should fulfil his promises because the little tailor have done what the king has required. I predict that the king is honourable to the little tailor but he just wanted to tricked him. The king should not be looked down to the little tailor because he is just a tailor. This reminds me of the little tailor has saved the kingdom from evil. Wisdom is very important than strength. If we use wisdom to fight evils, we will certainly be successful. This part of the story makes me feel that the little tailor is very good and always helping others, the reward that he received is also great.
