THE

little GIANT

story by: Fel Bocas

Once upon a time, there was this boy. He was so little with big hads and broad chest. He thinks that JAH made his hands bigger than the other boy has so that he could extend his hands easily to help and his chest was broader in order to protect. But others would get hurt in the process of helping someone.

The years passed and come but the boy was still little, only his hands and chest grow. It grows helping and protecting his family and other he dearly love. When he notice that he is hurting other people in the process of helping a person, he lay low because he did not understand that. On why other people get caught in the middle when he only wanted to help.

Years passed and years come, the boy became a man, a little man. Little by little he continues helping others whenever he ahd the chance to. The life he had was seemed complete, a sense of fulfillment rushed through the body whenever he was able to help or protect and a desire to do more would take place after rushed is gone.

His day start and ends with the chores and other responsibility he had like school and all others. He learned a lot from the four walls of the classroom to his daily experiences. In school, he learned in different subjects and in experience he learned lots like dealing with other people and with love...

Time came and went... fate brought the little man to meet with a lady. She opened her world to him, a world different from which he had been living. It is full of fun and other joyous events, a day and night of fun... those experiences made the little man think a different idea on why his hand and chest are big and broad, respectively. He thought was because it is meant to help and protect her. With all the knowledge the little man has he concluded that the feeling mus be LOVE. An unending feeling of happiness so different from what he felt towards his family and friends but that is not the conclusion the little man thought it was. That was merely the hypothesis of what eventually happened and the conclusion is the feeling of the lady for her has ended and that he has to end his share also and not to feel that again... to do that, he drown himself with alcohol though in time it healed the wounds but the little man never mind to put back the scattered pieces of his heart and often told himself that he had never been into that world, it did not exist.

Days came and went: the playful fate visited the little man again and brought him to meet this maiden. She picked up the shattered debris of his heart and mended it whole again. She opened her world and asked him to come in. Hesitant and anxious, the little man hopped into the world she opened. He tried to live in her world thinking that if he would have to undergo the same pain, it would be a lot easier because he had gone through it already... but it is a different world, different from what he had and so it is not easy. In this whole new world, everything is big like dreams, intentions, hopes, mistakes, joy, pain, ambition, needs, etc... and the maiden taught the little mand a lot especially to feel big and live big, though the little man often feels little but he feels very happy, always.

The little man, with everything he can, wants to have a happy conclusion with his unending feelings for the maiden. The little man hopes that in this big world, he can help and protect the maiden all the time with his big hands and broad chest. And finally, the maiden will notice that inside this little man's broad chest is a giant heart for her alone.
