Mastering Vocabulary: Unusual Words<br />
Fairy tales often use unusual words, generally because so many fairy tales have their<br />
beginnings in other languages and cultures, such as German, French, Dutch,<br />
Scandinavian, or others. Look at each word below, find it on the page inducated, and<br />
use context clues to discover the word’s meaning. If you are unable to figure out the<br />
definition, use a dictionary or an online source that will give you the history and<br />
etymology (original sources and meanings) of words.<br />
1. vexation (page 68)<br />
2. firkins (page 68)<br />
3. peddler (page 69)<br />
4. cheeky (page 70)<br />
5. pennyworth (page 73)<br />
6. a-purpose (page 75)<br />
Analyzing the Writing<br />
1. In this story, the wife talks about eating people. How does the author the topic funny?<br />
2. How would this story change if the author had used the same humorous tone but told<br />
the story from the giant’s point of view?<br />
Responding to the Story<br />
On page 78, the author says that the giant’s wife “gains something from her encounter with<br />
a pint-sized cat burglar.” What does the wife gain? Support your answer with evidence from<br />
the text.<br />
