The king gave him his hat full.
Then Jason planted the dragon's teeth, just as a man plants wheat.
By this time he was very tired, so he went to lie down.

threw growing fight
In the evening he came back.
The iron men were growing up. Some of the men had only their feet in
the ground.
Some of them were in the ground up to their knees.
Some had only their heads out. They all tried to get out so they could
kill Jason.
Then Jason did what Medea told him he should do.
He took a giant's marble and threw it near the men.
All the iron men wanted to get the marble.
So they began to fight each other. As soon as one had his feet out of
the ground, he cut at the man next to him. So they killed each other.
Then Jason took his sword and cut off all the heads that were out of
the ground.
So all the iron men were killed and the king was very angry.
But Medea and the people were glad.
