Indian folk story: giants playing with children
on one occasion, a powerful giant would travel around india, saying, "whoever answers an exact question that i've made with a gesture will get a reward.
but if the answer is not right, i will execute him!” "a great number of people, in order to be rewarded, have come to the titans and answered with their hand gestures.
but, unfortunately, they all failed.
when they failed, they cried out to the titans, asking them to show mercy, and not to execute them.
but the titans were cold and uncomplicated, as though they were squeezing faces, and they were strangled to death in his hand.
then the giants came into another earthen territory.
fearing nothing, and fearing the loss of his subjects, the king of the earth wanted to send the titans some rare treasures and to speak good words and to leave his kingdom.
but the giant is stubborn.
"you have to get someone to answer me with a hand gesture, even one." the giant said.
the king of earth has asked his ministers to find someone who can answer giant questions.
at that time, the people knew that the giants' questions were difficult to answer, that many had died in the hands of the giants and that who would die in vain in the hands of the great devils? the ministers asked who would not.
but we have to find someone.
we can't let the king die.
the ministers are in trouble.

"kids, you know? the giants ask questions that even adults can't answer." the king says.
"your majesty, i can answer the giant's question." the child says.
"kids, you know? the great man, who can't answer his questions, he'll kill him." the king said.
"your majesty, i know that i do not want to see many more dead in the hands of giants." kid seriously said that.
"my good boy, your parents will be afraid of you and your parents will be sad." the king said.
"your majesty," the child says, "my parents will be happy.
i'll give my parents a reward for the giants." the earth king wanted the child not to answer the giant's questions, but the child decided to go.
