Chapter 1 The Giant
Once there was a horrible old Giant.He lived in a big castle on top of a mountain and he was very lazy.
The Giant was so lazy, he needed servants to look after him.
But nobody wanted to work for him at all.
One day, the Giant went down the mountain.At the bottom, was a little cottage.Twelve children lived there, all on their own.
The girls were called -
Lotty, Dotty and Totty
and Bessie, Jessie and Nessie.
And the boys were called-
Cliff, Riff and Sniff
and Ken, Ben and Den.
"Now they would make good servants," thought the Giant.So he carried them off, back to his castle.
Chapter 2 "Is my Breakfast Ready?"
Every morning, the children had to get up very early, light the big stove and fetch lots of water.Then they had to make a huge pot of porridge for the Giant.
At six o'clock, the Giant would yell.
IS MY BREAKFAST READY?
But one morning, the children woke up a bit late.
The stove wouldn't light and the water wouldn't flow.So the Giant's porridge was lumpy.
"YOU LAZY LOT!" roared the Giant.
All the children started to shake,
The castle itself began to quake!
The Giant was so angry, he picked up Totty and dropped her into his bowl of porridge.
Now Totty was the smallest child of all.She was only as tall as the Giant's boot.Her little yellow hat fell off and bobbed on top of the porridge.
"Yuk! Yuk! Yuk!" cried Totty.
"I may be teeny, But I do not scream, Not even for a giant so mean!"
As soon as the Giant's back was turned, Lotty and Dotty pulled Totty out.Without her hat, she looked smaller than ever.
Chapter 3 "Is my Castle Clean?"
Every afternoon the children had to polish and rub, sweep and scrub.And everything had to shine like a new pin.
At two o'clock, the Giant would yell.
IS MY CASTLE CLEAN?
But one afternoon, the polish ran out.
The head fell off the broom and the bristles fell out of the great scrubbing brush.
And the Giant found some cobwebs in a corner.
"YOU DIRTY DOPES!" boomed the Giant.
All the children started to shake,
The castle itself began to quake!
The Giant was so angry that he picked up Nessie and dropped her into the waste paper basket.
Now Nessie was the untidiest of all the children.She always left things on the floor and forgot to comb her hair.
"Ugh!" she cried. "I'm in a stew!
There's rubbish all over me, What can I do?"
Just as soon as the Giant's back was turned, Bessie and Jessie pulled Nessie out.
Poor Nessie! She looked untidier than ever!
Every night, the children had to warm the Giant's bed with a big hot water bottle.And the sheets had to be clean and smooth.
At ten o'clock, the Giant would growl,
IS MY BED READY?
But one night, the hot water bottle had a hole in it.Water ran onto the bed.And the Giant found the sheets were cold and damp.
