Uncle Big

Once upon a time there was a man who woke up and realised there was a giant sitting in his garden.  The first morning the man didn’t say a word, just slowly closed the door and didn’t go out the rest of the day.  Unfortunately, the giant was there the next day – and the next.  The man needed to go to work, and couldn’t keep calling in sick, so he decided to risk sneaking past the giant.  The following morning the giant was there as usual.  The man started to quietly walk by, but the giant turned and looked at him.  The man stared right into his eyes, but the giant said nothing and let him go on his way.

Frustrated and worried, and after another week of slowly creeping past the giant, the man grew braver and said, ‘Hey!  What are you doing here?’

Finally, the giant turned to him and said ‘I am Uncle Big.  Don’t Be Afraid of Uncle Big.  And don’t be afraid of change!’  He then stood up and in one giant step was gone.

The man never saw him again.
