The Friendly Giant
Harold was an awkward boy with wiggly limbs and a too-big peanut head. He outgrew his clothes twice a month. Which caused his adoptive parents to sew his clothes together to save on costs. He grew taller than his siblings, and by the time he was 10, Harold was taller than his parents. He outgrew his bedroom, his head popping through the roof. He left home after poking a hole in the roof a third time. Although his family cried, they mustered up a smile to say goodbye and wish Harold good luck. With no home big enough to fit him, he decided to live in the mountains. There, he could dance all day without causing the house to shake. Sing aloud without busting eardrums. And can sit down without squishing anyone. The mountains are lonely, and he moved away from his family. He doesn't regret choosing his freedom.
