A modern-day ‘fractured fairy tale’ of flatulence, friendship and fun!
People think that Jupiter is the biggest gas giant in the solar system but Tom knows better …
THE STORY
Tom is just an ordinary boy in an ordinary town until one day he finds a dirty old teapot. He gives it a rub and out pops … the genie of the lamp!
Hurrah! Huzzah! And Hip Hip Hooray!
Only it’s not a genie; it’s a giant. Tom was hoping for three wishes but instead he’s lumbered with a hulking great lummox who turns out to be completely useless.
Isn’t there anything this giant is good for?

And do you know what? It was amazing. That flea walked along that tightrope. Then when it got to the middle, it raised one leg and balanced there for a few moments. Then it started juggling some skittles and did a somersault before leaping through a ring of fire. The audience would have gone wild if there had been an audience.
“Wow, not bad,” I said. “Not bad at all.”
Then Becky looked at my giant. “What’s that?” she said.
“Oh, that’s just my new giant,” I said in a matter-of-fact way.
“A giant,” said Becky. And I knew what was coming next. “What does he do?”
“He … he … “
