The Tale of the Giant

Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Ohio, Bernie the Brave was relaxing in the Red Forest with his good friend Myron.
"Ah, Myron! This is the life!" Bernie the Brave exclaimed. He took another sip of his catnip tea and sighed. "Ahhhh...what a beautiful day! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the best part-"
Bernie the Brave's words were cut off by a loud noise
*THUD!*

"What was that Bernie the Brave?!?!" cried Myron

*THUD!* *THUD* "RRROOOOAAAARRRR!!!"
The tremendous shriek echoed through out the forest. Suddenly the noise of a stampede could be heard-and it was coming right for Bernie the Brave and Myron!

"Quick Myron! Get to the cave!"
Bernie the Brave and Myron ran into Myron's cave and shut the door just as a stampede of forest animals came running by.

Bernie opened up the peephole and looked out into Myron's yard.

"My new lawn chair! It is ruined! And Myron, they flattened your flower bed!"

"My gladiolus!" the dismayed Myron exclaimed "Noooooo!"

Bernie the Brave gave Myron a pat on the shoulder
"Myron, what was that noise? What made those animals run like that? We have to go investigate!" Bernie the Brave ran into the guest bedroom and put on his shoes. He grabbed his sword and opened the front door.

"Bernie the Brave! Wait for me!" Myron dried his tears, snatched his bag from the living room and followed Bernie the Brave out the door.

"It came from this way" Bernie the Brave pointed to the west and they both began to walk deeper into the forest, toward where the forest animals came running from.

A rabbit was coming towards them, she was carrying a baby rabbit and was moving slow

"Hey you there!" Myron walked closer to the rabbit, "What was that noise? What is happening? What are you running from?"

"I can't talk! I have to keep moving" the rabbit's voice was muffled from carrying her baby

"Please Ma'm, tell us what happened and we will make sure you and your baby are safe" Bernie reached out and took the rabbit's hand

She put her baby down and wrapped an arm around it. The baby was shaking and looking around.
The Momma rabbit was shaking too. She kept looking behind her. "It was the most horrible thing I ever saw! It was huge!"

"What was huge? What is out there?" Bernie asked

"It's....it's...it's a GIANT!"
