Comprehension

A Read this legend about the Giant’s Causeway.

Legend has it that a long time ago, an Irish giant named Finn McCool lived in northern Ireland. McCool lived near the sea of Moyle and across the sea was Scotland, where a giant called Benandonner lived. Benandonner was Finn’s greatest enemy. He was the only other giant as big as McCool.

The two giants had never met, but McCool decided that he wanted to fight Benandonner. The fight would show which giant was the strongest. There wasn’t a boat big enough to carry giants, so McCool built a causeway of huge stones. That way, McCool could walk to Scotland and fight Benandonner.

However, as McCool got closer to Scotland, he saw Benandonner and became afraid of his size. The Scottish giant was much bigger and more unpleasant than McCool had realised. When Benandonner saw him, he started to run after him. McCool ran to his home and asked his wife what to do. She put a baby’s dress on him and put him in a big baby’s bed. When Benandonner arrived, McCool’s wife asked him not to wake up the baby. She told Benandonner that the baby was McCool’s child. Benandonner immediately ran away. If this giant baby was the child of McCool, Benandonner didn’t want to meet McCool, so Benandonner ran all the way back to Scotland on the Giant’s Causeway.

B Answer the questions.

1 Who lived in Scotland?

2 Which giant decided he wanted to fight with the other?

3 What made McCool scared of Benandonner?

4 What did McCool’s wife put on him when he came home?

5 How did Benandonner get back to Scotland?
