The Giant And The Imp

A giant and an imp were walking in the countryside together when they heard gorgeous music flowing over from the next field. The giant leapt and the imp scampered through corn and wheat until they came upon the source of the music.

There, in the middle of the stone road, was a woman playing her stringed instrument. “Ah!” the giant exclaimed, “I love the violin and you play it so terrifically!”

The imp scrunched up its face. “That’s not a violin you big buffoon! That’s a bass and she’s playing it wonderfully!”

The giant and the imp argued and argued late into the evening.

And the woman just kept playing her cello.
