Once upon a time, there was a little village called Flatville. All of the creatures that lived there were flat, just like their houses, trees, and even their food!

One day, a giant creature named Huge stepped into Flatville. He was so big and broad that he couldn't fit through the doors of the average-sized houses. The little creatures of Flatville were amazed by Huge's size and started calling him a humongous giant.

Huge was so large that he didn't know how to fit in with the other flat creatures. He tried to make friends, but his immense size always seemed to get in the way. The other creatures were afraid of Huge because they thought he might squish them with his big feet.

One day, Huge came across a little creature named Little. Little was the smallest creature in Flatville and didn't seem to be afraid of Huge at all. Huge was so happy to finally have a friend who wasn't afraid of his size.

Together, Huge and Little had many adventures in Flatville. Huge would use his broad shoulders to carry Little on his back, and Little would show Huge all of the hidden gems in Flatville.

Eventually, the other creatures in Flatville realized that Huge wasn't scary after all. They all became friends with Huge and learned to appreciate his size and strength. From then on, Flatville was a happy place for creatures of all sizes.

The end.
