O, Mr. Giant, help me up. IT have hurt myself.
[The Giant looks at the child and puts the stick down, then lifts him up; and the little boy throws his arms around the Giant’s neck and kisses him.]
LITTLE BOY
Thank you, Mr. Giant.
GIANT
[Reflectively] No one ever kissed me before. It feels queer. [Grant puts him down.]
LITTLE BOY
I’m all right now.
[Takes the Giant’s hand and looks up into hisface.]
I think I will run and play with the children now. Good-bye, Mr. Giant.
