Note 2 — BEDIK AND THE INVULNERABLE GIANT.
Reading edition
“To-morrow is the feast of the Navasard,2 when all the maidens of the city go out for recreation and merriment, but I am not allowed to go forth because it is the day when the Invulnerable Giant makes his annual assault to seize me. I will, however, go to the garden by the riverside, which is surrounded by high walls; there I will wait for you to see you display your bravery.”
