The tall giant
The giants lived in caves on top of the purple mountains. One of these giants was taller than the others. No one liked him, because he was very clumsy. He would keep bumping into other giants. and trees. And rocks. He was a very sad giant.
Maya ben heard about the sad giant. She wanted to help. Papa haathi took her to the purple mountains and there she said to the tall giant “Don’t worry tall giant, let me see what the problem is.”
Maya ben spent the day walking around with the tall giant, and also exploring the purple mountain on her own.
She came to the purple giant and said “ Dear giant, you are so tall, that your head is in the clouds. You cant see your feet! That’s why you keep bumping into the other giants and trees and rocks and things.”
“Oh no! what can I do? Boo hoo hoo!”, cried the giant.
“Don’t worry, tall giant. I have a simple answer to your problem. Come with me”.
Maya ben led the tall giant down the mountain. Halfway down, they came to some nice big caves. “Tall giant, can you see your feet now?”
“Yes!”, said the giant.
“So that’s it, all you have to do is move down the mountain so your head is below the clouds. And here are some perfectly nice caves for you to make a new home in!”
The tall giant was happy again. And the other giants soon became his friends. The tall giant and Maya ben became the best of friends.
