The giant’s mother went on a holiday and he was at home all alone.The giant went to get a pot of water and cut up some onions and put the onions in the pot. He said, “This is no good.”said the giant and it needs some carrot.” He went to the shop to get some carrots and came back inside.Then he cut the carrots and he put the carrots in the pot. Again he said, “It is no good! It needs a beef bone.” He went to get the beef bone from the refrigerator and put it in the pot and again it was no good. “It needs a young boy,” said the giant. Then he put on his sneakers and went out to the world of people.Jason was at school. When school was finished he was walking home.

 He was walking and reading a cookbook when the giant grabbed Jason and ran home to put him in pot. Jason swam round and round the soup pot. He tasted it.Hey” Jason said, “Turn the stove on it is cold in and you don’t know how to cook.” The giant turned on the stove.”He swam round and round.Hey”Jason said, This tastes disgusting and it needs some salt.The giant went to get the salt and Jason swam round and round.Hey” said Jason you don’t have pepper.The giant went to get same pepper and the giant put the pepper in the pot.

It was nice and warm Jason swam round and round he tasted the soup. “It is lovely now,” he said.

Jason swam round and round drinking lots more of the soup.The giant took him out of the pot and the giant said, No!No! come back here little boy!”

But  Jason ran home as fast as he could.
