At first, the giant lives among the people.
It was quite peaceful.
The giant was good, not bad.

At first, the giant helped the people.
He would help the kids learn.
He would sell foods and goods.

But then, the people wanted the giant to do more.
They asked for money, jobs, and health.
But that wasn't the giants job.

But then, the people pleaded more and more.
They even built him a house in the sky.
The tower, reaching great heights.

But then, the giant moved in, taller than before.
The people continued to cry out.
But the giant couldn't hear them any longer.

But then, the giant tried to guess what the people wanted.
Oh, was he wrong.
Everything they wanted, they never received.

But then, the giant grew greedy and selfish.
He thought he'd have some fun.
Anger grew inside him, and then the people.

Now, the giant controls everything.
There's nothing the people can do.
The giant, the tower, the people.
