CREATIVE WRITING A FABLE by Elizabeth Morner Once there was a giant who had the voice of a very lovely young girl, and because he was not like other giants, when he was no more than three days old. his parents had hid- den him away in a far corner of the north. There he lived, ignorant of both the race of giants and the race of men. He spent his time wading through the deep green forests, and early every morning, when the sun was going up and the light fog lifted from the meadows, he would lie down on a mossy bank and sing. And when his song filled the air. the flowers would open their petals, the trees fall silent, and the animals gather around him.

He has a mouth like a great open cave and feet like massive knotted roots, and his body is like a granite rock. And they also cried. He is trying to cast a spell He is using his voice to cast a spell. But the giant stood silent. And when the people saw him motionless, they shouted. Be off, you giant Who ever heard of a giant living with human creatures, and don’t show your face here again. And as they shouted, they seized long shafts of fiery iron and drove him away.
