The boy is calmed down and put back to sleep by his mother. Mary puts the covers back on Jimmy.

Tenlong had regained himself and had used the blanket that was around his huge shoulders to

clean himself up. Mary turns around and sees that Tenlong has calm himself down.

Mary speaks,”Are you alright, child?”

Tenlong spoke,”Yeah I am okay now. You do not have to worry anymore.”

Mary smiled at the giant and it puzzled him.

Tenlong spoke,”You are staring at me like I have a booger sticking out of my nose.”

Mary spoke,”You are still a boy, are you?”

Tenlong spoke,” I am pretty big for four years old.”

Mary spoke,” You are only four? How is that possible? I do not get it!”

Tenlong spoke,” I do not know ether. I grew big like I am now after...”

Mary spoke,”That is alright. You do not have go back any further into your past until you are ready. I will not force you to say anything you do not want to do.”

Tenlong spoke,”I am getting tired again, where can I sleep, please?”

Mary got all the bedding that she could find so that Tenlong would not sleep on the bare floor.

He is put to bed and he falls right back to sleep. Mary readies herself back to bed herself.

Tenlong awakes to little hands pressing on his chest shaking him awake. He stirs awake to see that it was the young boy Jimmy. Tenlong is still lethargic but he manages to sit up on his rear end.

He speaks,” What is it Jimmy? What is there something that that you need of me?”

Jimmy laughs at the large man and points.

The boy speaks,”You have been sleeping all day!”

Mary comes running into the house with a large bag of clothes in arms. She took off her coat off and shoes, then she drops the bag in the kitchen.

Mary yells,”I told you to not wake him up! He needs all the sleep that he can get. He needs to recover from his all his troubles. He had not slept for about a week or longer!”

Tenlong speaks,”It is alright, I am feeling better! What can I do to help you two?”

Jimmy yells,”You was a pig and ate most of the meat last night!”

Tenlong grins,” That much is true! I was really hungry last night and I had not ate since who

knows when.”

Mary yells,”Jimmy stop it! Do not make fun of others! I raised you better than that!”

Jimmy speaks,”Sorry mister Tenlong! Sorry Momma!”

Tenlong speaks,”Where can you find some meat?”

Mary speaks,” You do not have to pay us back. You were in need and we help you. You have done nothing wrong. We are suppose to help others.”

Jimmy speaks,”He can go hunting for some bear. Dad always brought home some every week! I like eating bear meat! We have not had any since..”

Jimmy breaks out into tears and is held by his mother Mary.

Tenlong spoke,” I will go searching for a bear for us to eat.”

Mary speaks,”You are younger than Jimmy! You have no business hunting! He is three years older than you!”

Jimmy stops crying and asks,”What are saying, Mommy? Mister Tenlong is a grown man!”

His mother corrects,” Tenlong is a Giganto and has just grown bigger just recently!”

Tenlong speaks,” Your mom is right, I am only four and I just got bigger just recently.”

Jimmy speaks,”You mean that you need to call me Mister!”

Tenlong laughs,”Yes, that is right! Mister Jimmy, you are older than me!”

Mary breaks out in laughter as the other two.

Tenlong is given an outfit to go hunting in made out of various furs sewed together. He was given an ax and a sword to hunt with. The three are all outside next to a small buggy that Tenlong will use to carry any potential haul back.

Mary says,”If you want you can get some fire wood we are getting low. Winter is on upon us

and we will all freeze if we do not get some in the next few days. If you can not do it, then I will take a

few days off to do it myself. Do not go too far into the forest though or overburden yourself! Thank you

for going out for us even if it is nothing.”

Tenlong nodded his head in agreement.

He spoke,” I should be fine. I never heard of the world's former rulers dying due to a hunting accident. I am a Giganto but I will be careful anyway! But please do not worry about me.”

Jimmy spoke,” Go get them Mister!”

Mary spoke,”Do not take too long! We will preparing a meal by the time you get back.”

Tenlong grabbed the sides of the wooden shafts that a work animal would be attached to. Tenlong easily pulled the buggy as he went into the nearby forest.

#

Tenlong had walked for several miles into the forest and saw a huge tree.

Tenlong spoke,”That tree is huge and it might last Mary and Jimmy all winter. I need to pay them back for what they had done for me! They have welcome me, a perfect stranger with open arms.”

He stretches himself out and puts his hand on the giant tree. While bending over he grabs the ax out the bed of the buggy.

Tenlong falls unto the cold ground with the ax in his hand.

He yells,” What happened? Why did I fall? I do not get it!”

Tenlong looks over to the giant tree and see that it had it's roots ripped out of the ground and it has fallen on it's side.

Tenlong yells,”Trees must not be as sturdy as they use to be! What a world I am living in when giant trees are so flimsy!”

He had not realized to how strong he has become after his recent transformation.

The lad starts to cut up the huge tree with the ax he had been given.

#

Tenlong had altogether filled the buggy with fire wood and it is over filled with wood. Not even

one third of tree had been cut but he could not carry any more. He looks behind him and he sees a large moose coming. It was had been a bull because of his large antlers. Tenlong did not have time to get his ax or sword so he put his hands up.

Tenlong had somehow managed to grabbed the moose by it's antlers and he was out muscling the large bull.

He was fighting the bull and he twisted the moose's head to the left as hard as he could. Tenlong manages to liberate the moose's head off it's shoulders. He is amazed by his strength as the headless body of the moose hits the hard ground.

Tenlong spoke,”Man, I did not know that I could do that! Gigantos were stronger than the legends gave them credit for!”

He picks up the body of the moose and puts it top of the wood with ease. Tenlong had left the moose's head on the cold ground. He had heard something growling to the side.

He grabbed his ax since he would not be taken weaponless this time. It was a large black bear and was running fast towards him. Tenlong throws the ax at the head of the bear.

The bear's head in split in two by the ax.

Tenlong spoke,”Jimmy has got his wish! He has got a bear and he will have it today! I will go back since I can not possibly carry any more! Today has been a better haul than I could have possible

dreamed of.”

Tenlong lifts the bear next to the moose on top of the wood pile. He grabs the moose's head

and puts on the back of the buggy. Tenlong easily turns the buggy around surprisingly and he travels back to the home of Mary and Jimmy.
