The Giant who needed a bed

WALT: identify expensive words

This story is about a giant who lives in a village. The villagers heard his stomach rumble and then they quickly prepare an bucket full of lemonade and served it to the Giant. They used a hose as a straw. Then it was time for soup. Instead of a soup bowl, they filled a cake mixing bowl with vegetable soup. The cook fetched the biggest ladle he could find in the kitchen. Then they cooked the biggest roast turkey in the village. At the end the villagers make a bed for the giant so he doesn't need to walk all the way home and back to the village. I found this story very entertaining and also fun.
