The playful Giant

There once was a giant who liked to play
With the villagers every sunny day
He would pick them up and throw them high
He liked to watch the villagers fly

He tried to catch them as they fell
And most he did, but some...oh well
He had lots of villagers to fly around
So he didn't worry if some hit the ground

Soon, the villagers had had enough
They didn't enjoy this flying stuff
He had to know his game was done
They had to tell him this was no fun

They tangled his legs with rope so thick
He fell to the ground, hard and quick
he crashed through trees and fell on his face
and left a big dent in the ground in that place

They stood on his nose and looked in his eye
They told him "Us villagers don't like to fly"
"now leave us alone, don't throw us around
or once again you'll end up on the ground"

He got the point and found a new way
to have fun with the villagers each sunny day
He filled the dent in the earth he had made
he filled it with water then sat in the shade

the villagers would come and jump off his toes
and dive from the tip of his big ugly nose
they would swim in the lake, laugh and play
and the giant had fun with them each sunny day
