Lindy and the Forest Giant
A Retell by Maya Zhan
The Forest Giant was a terrifying giant who threatened all of the people. Lindy as one of the people in the valley and she was a clever and tricky little girl. She decided to make him go away. She knew she had to frighten the giant into thinking that she was smarter and stronger than he was. Lindy said: “ Whoever will be able to bang a hole in the tree with only one’s head is the stronger of the two of us. “ “ I’ll go first.” The giant said. He ran toward the tree with his head down. He hit the tree so hard that he knocked himself out! While the giant was unconscious, Lindy poked a hole in the tree with an ax and stuck her head in. The giant watched with envy. “ You should spend the night with me.” He said. So while the giant was sleeping, Lindy got a log and covered it with a blanket as if it was her. The monster axed the blanket thinking it was Lindy to kill her, then went back to sleep. Lindy threw the log out of the cave. The monster woke up and stuttered, “D-d-id y-you, s-s-s-sleep w-w-well?” “Yes!” Lindy answered. “Except for that tiny mosquito that bit me last night.” The monster was now afraid of her because he couldn't kill her, and owed Lindy money because she put a hole in the tree. So the monster handed her some silver coins. The monster was completely afraid of Lindy’s terrible strength, so he moved away from the valley. The people in the valley lived happily ever after.
