One Irish legend says that (1) ... Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn MacCool) was challenged to a fight by (2) … Scottish giant he had offended. Fionn accepted (3) … challenge and built the causeway across (4) … North Channel so that the two giants could meet.
In (5) … one version of the story, Fionn defeats (6) … his Scottish foe. In another, Fionn hides from (7) … Scottish giant when he realises that his foe is much bigger than he. (8) … Fionn's wife, Oonagh, swaddled (пеленать) Fionn as (9) … baby and put him into a cradle (люлька).
When (10) … Scottish competitor sees the size of the 'baby', he reckons that its father, Fionn, must be a giant among giants. He runs away back to (11) … Scotland in fright, destroying the causeway behind him so that Fionn could not follow.
