“I can’t reach.  I am too short,” said the giant dressed in all yellow.  “You are going to have to help me.”

“But I’m just a kid,” she exclaimed, amused, confused!

“I know.  You are bigger than me, stronger…think you’re up for the job?”

So, she pursed her lips, scrunched her eyebrows, furrowed the forehead and became quite serious.  “Hrumpf” was all that came out of her little body…and then she began to grow.

“That’s it,” the gentle giant said softly to her.  “You understand.”

She stretched her arms out, then up, spread her fingers…

“Good…Good…That’s it…Keep Going…”

And as her neck got longer, the bubblewrap in her spine tickled her with a Pop Pop Pop Pop and she giggled out loud, “I’m doing it!  Look At Me!”
