They Do Not Speak the Same Language

She is awake! The village children scream. Many terrified. Most run away. That’s okay, the wise woman said. I will see what she is about. She approaches the giant cautiously. Giant sits up, smiles. Pats a place by her side. Wise woman sits. They do not speak the same language. They enjoy the sun, the flowers, the breeze. A dog comes out and barks. They look at each other and smile. Breaking down barriers one at a time Unclear why she is here. But Wise Woman wisely waits…

It really is not. I have communicated sometimes with people who do not speak my language better than those who could but do not bother.

Oo! I love that one! Gentleness and a good dollop of patience wins the heart of a giantess. Very nice!
