When I was in high school, I think (so, quite a while ago now), I read a story in which a group of children lived in a large manor with some giants. They were educated by them and taught to be polite, and when one of the children was especially good he or she was allowed to join the giants for dinner.
The narrator of this story, one of the little boys, had something of a rival, and that rival was chosen for this honor one day. Naturally the boy was angry and disappointed, so he decided that he would sneak in and see the dining hall himself in all of its glory. So he snuck in and there was his rival, trussed up like a pig and cooked, all ready for the giants' dinner.
The boy quickly gathered together as many of the children as he could convince that something was wrong, and they set off into the snow, and eventually they came to the home of a man who took them in and promised that they were beyond the giants' reach.
Anyone recognize this?
