The Giant And The Little Girl


'The adventurous Story of a giant determined to accomplish his evil plans, Will Evil prevail over good?, Can a little girl stop him?'

Episode 1

Once upon a time, before the world was as it is today, there was a giant. He was huge and very strong. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. His legs are strong and thick. His fingernails and toenails were so sharp that he could easily skin an animal with them.

He had a big head, his lips were very fat and his nose was huge and curved like an eagle's beak. The guant had three fearsome and fiery blue eyes. The third eye was on his forehead and it was the largest and most powerful of the three. He was very ugly.

The giant lived alone in a large, thick forest, far from any village. It was a dangerous place, ful of wild animals and insects.

The giant had a dream one day. He dreamed about keeping many fine cattle and building a house that was higher than a mountain. He believed he could make his dream come true. He wanted the cattle because he was fond of meat. Tasty, sweet meat was the only food he craved. If he kept some fine cattle, it would be easy for him to get sweet meat. And he wanted to rule over the whole world and over the sun and the stars as well. He wanted a house where he could live like a king.

This great house would have large rooms and many windows. And it would be painted red, this was his imagination after his dream.

The dream made the giant blind to everything else. It was the most important thing in the world to him. He did not care how many people he will hurt, as long as he could make his dream come true.

For the giant to do this, he needed to find people who would work for nothing, and he needed some fine cattle. He went from village to village, searching for these. But in most of the villages, the people were short and weak and the cattle were thin. Then, at last, he found the village of Isere
In Isere, there were lots of crop growing and plenty of grass for grazing. The villagers were strong and healthy and their cattle were good and fat.

The giant attacked Isere again and again. He made the people his slaves and took their cattle. If anyone complained, he beat them to death, or made them eat earthworms.

Each time the giant attacked, he captured the strongest and healthiest people and took the finest animals. And he punished anyone who complained. The villagers had a name for the giant. It was OPEKETE.

Opekete soon caued famine in the village. Many people were afraid to keep cattle in case he came to steal them. They were afraid to make farms in case he attacked them there.

After a while, there was very little to eat in the village. Everyone was hungry. The village was full of yawning children. They sleep in the sub so that they did not have to feel their hunger. Sooner or later they would start dying.

Yet, there was one family who refused to give in. It was a small family just one man, his wife and a son and daughter. The family had six fine fat cattle and they had, so far managed to keep them safe from Opekete.

But for how long can they?
