Once upon a time, when dragons and magic roamed the Earth. In a land not so far away. There lived a little girl. This little girl went by the name of Too Too Moo. Too Too Moo lived with her mother in a small, isolated, one-groomed cottage. She was very close to her mother.
      They did everything together. The ate together, they slept together, the even did each other's hair (with little sticks of course, that was the fashion.)
     One day when Too Too Moo's mother was at the market, Too Too Moo was making herself a bowl of porridge. Then everything started to shake, loud "booms" echoed through the air. One after the other boom, boom, boom! Until, suddenly they stopped. The cottages then started to rumble, the roof was slowly being ripped off! Too Too Moo dove for the corner just as a large eyeball appeared through the gaping hole, where the roof should have been. "Are you Too Too Moo?" A booming, gruff voice asked "Yes." Too Too Moo squeaked.

    "You are the Too Too Moo?" The voice ask. "Yes, I am." She meekly responded. "If you are Too Too Moo, then you will make me my porridge every day. If you don't?" He chuckled a bit, then picked up a tree. Snap! He bit it in half. "Oh, o-ok" the young girl was thoroughly shaken then. "I smell something sweet. Give it to me! Now!" Too Too Moo ran out to the porch with the freshly made porridge, ands handed it to the voice. "The voice" turned out to be a giant.

For months after that incident, the giant would show up at Too Too Moo's cottage and demand his porridge. "Too Too Moo! Where are you? And where is my porridge?!" Too Too Moo would always hide in the corner at this time, and when the time came, she would answer the giant's question. "The porridge is on the porch" she would always say.

One day, Too Too Moo was making porridge for the giant. She had not been eating lunch since the giant came and it was hard on her. Well, she was really hungry, and the porridge looked so good! She couldn't resist. 'Just one bite wouldn't hurt, right?' She thought to herself. So in one bite went, then another, and another! Until, pretty soon, the bowl was empty. Just then, the giant showed up, "Too Too Moo! Where are you? And where is my porridge?!" Too Too Moo lept behind the couch, in the corner. She slowly, quietly answered, "The porridge is in my stomach." As soon as the words left her mouth, the roof was lifted from its resting position. A large hand reached inside the small cottage and took Too Too Moo out of her hiding spot. In one gulp she was traveling down his esophagus. You see if a person had eaten Too Too Moo, then the gastric acid in the stomach would have burned her alive. However, a mythical giant ate her, therefore she won't  be burned alive from gastric acids (giants are quite different than humans you see.) The giant tromped off into the forest with Too Too Moo screaming and crying the whole way.

Not long after that incident Too Too Moo's mother, Angie, came home from the market. She walked into her house to see the roof missing and the furniture destroyed; Too Too Moo was nowhere in sight. Angie became frantic then. "Too Too Moo?!" she screamed as she ran around her small cottage, and into the woods that surrounded it. Once she had gotten a ways into the forest, she came to see a trail of snapped sticks, fallen trees, and large footprints. 

Meanwhile, there was an eccentric explorer braving the wild forest, filled with mystical being. He had just come upon a rather large boulder and was studying it, for he thought that it was a "Stone-goblin". He had tried everything to make it move, eventually he gave up and went to get help. Once he returned with a band of twenty young, strong men, the giant had arrived. 

Too Too Moo had tried everything that she could think of to get the giant to stop, or something to help her escape. She had pounded on the inside of the giants stomach, she had tried to climb back up his esophagus, she had even tried to go out the other end. None of her ideas worked! She then remembered that her mother had done her hair that morning! Which means that she had little sticks in her hair! She immediately pulled them out and started to stab the giant's insides with them. The giant gave pause, then started to laugh! The little sticks were tickling him, he demanded that she stop. She kept on going strong though. The giant by this time had fallen over and was rolling around on the floor with laughter. He was so busy trying to get Too Too Moo to stop that he didn't notice the large boulder that was hurtling right for his head! The explorer and his crew had succeeded in moving the large boulder off of the cliff. The boulder hit the giant square in the head and he died instantly, without much pain. 

Angie then arrived at the seen. She took one look at the fallen giant and assumed the worst. "NO! Not my baby! Why my little girl?!" once she was finished with wallowing in grief she came to notice a small voice coming from inside the giant. Angie quickly pulled herself together and shoved the giants mouth open. When it was wide enough she stuck her arm in and pulled Too Too Moo out. They walked home together and never experienced anything quite as epic again. The eccentric explorer got awarded for killing a giant that had been terrorizing multiple towns, and he lived quite fashionably until his death day.  As for the giant? His remains were eaten by a dragon. They all lived...

Happily Ever After!
