The Three Giants
language
( June 18, 2015)
This is a story told before it was written. It came out of a bedtime routine that began with reading our children a traditional story or fairy tale. One evening they asked for a new story, something just for them. Of course in the clear logic of children, if we could make up a story one night, we could do it every night. So from the age of three and a half until sometime in elementary school it became a daily challenge for either my wife or me to create a short tale to entertain them after reading time. TheThree Giants was one of those. Originally created and told over several nights to fulfill a daily obligation for which I will ever be grateful.
