At some point the tailor moved on and came to the palace of the king. While he was resting in the park, his subjects came, looked at him from all sides and read on the belt: "Seven at a stroke." "Oh," they said, "what does the great warrior want here in the midst of peace? That must be a mighty lord." When the king heard of the arrival of the supposed war veteran, he immediately took him as commander of the cavalry troops in his service. He sent him a messenger and sent an offer: In one of the woods of his land lived two giants who caused great harm with robbery, murder, searing and burning: nobody could approach them without risking their lives. If he conquered these two giants and killed them, he would give him his only daughter as his wife, and half the kingdom to the marriage-tax; and a hundred horsemen were to go with them and assist him. The tailor felt that such a reward would be just right for a man like him. "Oh, yes," he replied, "I will restrain the giants, and I do not need the hundred horsemen: whoever meets Siebene in one stroke need not be afraid of two." He went into the forest to the giants and made them fight each other and finally kill themselves. When he then demanded his reward, the king continued to order him to catch a unicorn that roamed the woods causing great damage. "I am even less afraid of a unicorn than of two giants, but I do not want to joke, that's my business." After the tailor had outsmarted this, the king still did not want to keep his promise. Before the wedding, it was still to capture a boar. When he succeeded and he had locked the animal in an old chapel, the king had to redeem the agreement. The wedding was thus held with great splendor and little joy, and made a tailor a king.
