Here's one. In the myth of the 'Jolly - Giants', these giants are not at all like the scary ones in other tales. They are huge but extremely friendly. They build their homes out of cotton candy clouds and chocolate bricks. Their main job is to create rainbows by blowing colored bubbles. They are so clumsy that when they walk, the ground shakes and it seems like an earthquake, but it's just their big, goofy steps.
