• These are some
possible answers:
◗ Exposition: Fin is building a
bridge between Ireland and
Scotland when he hears that
Cuhullin, a very strong giant,
wants to beat him in a fight. He
hurries home and tells Oona,
his wife. He is quite worried.
◗ Rising action: Oona knows that Cuhullin is quite strong because of his magic finger, so she is aware that
Fin must win without using his strength. Therefore, she comes up with a plan: she bakes a batch of bread
with an iron griddle in each loaf. Then, she tells Fin to put on a baby’s costume.
◗ Climax: Cuhullin arrives to Fin’s house and Oona tells him her husband is not home. She invites the
giant to supper and tests his strength several times. She is impressed but is also sure of her plan. When
Cuhullin tries the bread, he breaks a tooth and believes that it is Fin’s favorite bread. Then Oona tells him
that the baby is Fin’s son. Cuhullin is surprised by the baby’s size and puts his finger in its mouth. Then,
Fin bites him.
◗ Falling action: Cuhullin roars in pain because Fin bit his finger off and he loses his strength.
◗ Resolution: Fin knows that Cuhullin is powerless. Therefore, he is now able to fight him and win. Cuhullin
runs away and Fin chases him. Oona tells him to be gentle with his enemy.
