The weeks whither away from him as if time were a sand clock only with a broken bottom; He can't help but loiter in his own thoughts, “I have the faintest idea what to do with myself” ponders Mr Giant. “I'm honestly not sure whether I'm coming or going”. You see, for Mr Giant life is rather fickle, and this on a daily basis would be enough to make anyone wonder what a giant must do! So big, strong, full of courage and might; why you'd be mistaken to think that it can be so easy for a man of gargantuan size to know exactly what one must do with a decision involving one's own life.
Mr Giant had a problem to deal with. His mother was gravely ill and while you’d expect it as the norm for this young mans life to be affected, the question he seeked to be answered had ramifications not even he would’ve had a clue about. “Where do I begin", asked Mr Giant when suddenly a fairy twinkled upon his shoulder. The Giant couldn’t believe what he was seeing before him; never before had the giant seen something so beautiful.
“My name is Alexia”, said the fairy in the smallest and endearing voice ever to be heard. The fairy continued, “I come to you amid your fears; No longer shall you wonder what to do for I will answer the question which you seek to be fulfilled”. The Giant smiled with such delight, his heart could be seen glowing from deep within his eyes.
Answering the giant's desperate need to know what he must do, the fairy began with saying, “It is first that you will abandon your quest for knowledge and care for the loved one who lays in ill health, for she is in need of you and only you can help her”. The giant feared that this is what needed to be done and knew it would be a great sacrifice he would be making, but the fairy added, “knowledge comes not from what the other man teaches you, but from what you become aware to teach yourself; what you miss today you will find the day tomorrow if you know to be aware”.
Needless to say, Mr Giant felt puzzled by these words, but looking deeper he came to understand that what you become aware to teach yourself for tomorrow, is the life you learn to live today. Sacrificing his own immediate future, Mr Giant realised that he instead gained knowledge into finding a new future; he found for tomorrow the lesson he would miss the day before.
