But where was the giant?This time, Small Bird flew even higher into the sky. He saw the moon! He saw a comet! What a wonderful moon! What a spectacular comet!But where was Giant? From way up high, with his sharp eyes, Small Bird saw something! What could it be?Small Bird dove down, down, down. Where would he land? Small Bird landed right into Giant’s hands.
