Once upon a time, there was a giant who lived in a castle on a hill. He was terrible, rotten, and enormous. Every day he felt miserable and huge, until one day he met a small child who made him laugh. The giant's heart melted and he learned that being kind and happy was the true key to being big and strong. From that day forward, the giant lived happily ever after, spreading joy and laughter to all who crossed his path. The end.

Reflections

1. What made the giant feel miserable and huge?
2. How did the small child change the giant's life?
3. Why do you think the giant's heart melted when he met the child?
4. What do you think the giant learned about being big and strong?
5. How can we spread joy and laughter to others like the giant did?
