Two cousins decide to visit the mysterious isle of giants, and to steal portions of treasure small enough to escape a giant’s notice, but large enough to make their fortunes.
Genre: Fairy Tale, Fantasy
Excerpt:
“We will live in their house, as mice live in ours. Wes hall never
want for anything. One slice of their bread could feed us for half
a year.” Slubber slapped me on the back. “Cousin, I have always
thought you clever, but this is beyond clever. This is true
brilliance.”
“Mice. What if there are giant mice?”
Strangely, the thought had not occurred to me, as many useful
thoughts had not. “Or worse yet…cats?”
What’s
the Word (that inspired the story)?
Slubber: to perform
hastily or carelessly (dictionary.com)

Episode Art Description: Scan of ink drawing, digitally colored. A person at right and facing left, partially seen from waist to forehead, holds the handle of a Y-shaped slingshot in the extended left arm. The right hand stretches back the sling portion, which contains a stone, and a small human figure lying with their back on the stone. In the background is a sunny blue sky, with a light scattering of rain, and to the left, rocky terrain obscured by fog that extends to bottom edge.
