The Mountain Giants
On one of the highest heights of the Alsace mountains, on the edge of a precipice, many years ago there was a fantastic castle that had been built on the living rock, from whose high towers the whole valley was dominated.
A man lived in it with his family, which was made up of his wife and his daughter – a beautiful girl, but mischievous and determined – who happily traveled the mountains and cliffs with the agility of a gazelle. Her father let her roam free in the mountains; but he had refused her, under severe penalties, to go down to the plain.
The Mountain Giants
The girl looked at the valley with infinite curiosity, and she felt an irresistible attraction for it, especially since she was forbidden to go there.
One day when her parents had to go away to solve some business, the daughter thought that she could take the opportunity to go down to the valley and see what it was like up close; she was accustomed to walk on the peaks, in a short time she would go, and she could be back before her parents returned. And in less time than she thought, she was already in the plain, where some farmers worked the land, while others, in the threshing floors, threshed and collected the grain.
The Mountain Giants
The girl was excited. She had never seen such precious toys! And she spread her apron, which covered several fields, and threw into it with crazy with happiness; men, oxcarts, horses and houses; and loaded with everything, she went to her castle, and calling to her father who had already returned, she took off her apron and spread it out on the floor with everything she brought.
Look what wonders I have found! – And he showed her the men, the cattle and the houses.
The lord of the castle, who was a giant, became very serious, scolded his daughter for having disobeyed him, and ordered her to take everything back to where she had found it.
The Mountain Giants
His daughter begged to be allowed to keep at least some of those dolls that moved.
The men, who trembled with fear when they saw themselves in the giant's castle, now breathed somewhat calmly when they heard that they were to be returned to the valley, and they slipped away, not wanting to stay as the girl's toys. She had to go back to pick up everything she had thrown, before her father's disaproval, who told her:
– Take them to where you picked them up, we owe our lives to them. All of us mountain giant brothers would starve if the plain dwarves did not work the land.
Play!

Los Gigantes de la Montaña
Legenda Popular Francesa
¡Jamás había visto juguetes tan preciosos! Extendió su delantal, que cubría varios sembrados, y fue echando en él, loca de emoción; hombres, carretas de bueyes, caballos y casas. Y cargado con todo, se fue a su castillo, y llamando a su padre que ya había regresado, se quitó el delantal y lo extendió en el suelo con todo lo que traía.
¡Mira que maravillas he encontrado! – Y le enseñaba los hombres, los ganados y las casas.
El señor del castillo, que era un gigante, se puso muy serio, regañó a su hija por haberle desobedecido y le ordenó que volviera a llevar aquello a donde lo había encontrado. La hija suplicaba que le dejara quedarse por lo menos con alguno esos muñecos que se movían.
Los hombres, que temblaron de miedo al verse en el castillo del gigante, respiraban ahora con alguna tranquilidad al oír que los regresaran al valle, y se escurrían, no queriéndose quedar ninguno como juguete de la niña. Ésta tuvo que volver a recoger todo lo que había tirado, ante la negativa del padre, que le dijo:
– Llévalos a donde los recogiste que a ellos les debemos la vida. Todos los hermanos gigantes de la montaña nos moriríamos de hambre si los enanos de la llanura no trabajasen la tierra.
Sobre una de las mayores alturas de las montañas de Alsacia, al borde de un precipicio, hace muchos años estaba un fantástico castillo que había sido construido en la roca viva, desde cuyas altas torres se dominaba todo el valle.
Habitaba en él un hombre con su familia, la que se componía de su mujer y su hija – bella niña, pero traviesa y decidida – que recorría alegre las montañas y riscos con la agilidad de una gacela. Su padre la dejaba andar en libertad por los montes; pero le había negado, bajo severísimas penas, que bajara a la llanura. La muchacha miraba con curiosidad infinita el valle, y sentía por él una atracción irresistible, sobre todo porque tenía prohibido ir ahí.
Un día en el que sus padres tuvieron que ir lejos a resolver unos asuntos, la hija pensó que podría aprovechar la ocasión para bajar al valle y ver cómo era de cerca; acostumbrada a andar por las cumbres, en poco tiempo iría, y podría estar de vuelta antes de que sus padres regresaran. Y en menos tiempo de lo que pensó, ya estaba en la llanura, donde unos labradores trabajaban la tierra, mientras otros, trillaban y recogían el grano. La niña quedó entusiasmada.
