Epic



          Bob is a very tall man. So tall that nobody thinks he is a human. They all think he is a giant or something related. He has no friends, or parents. He raised himself on the streets of Galofogornikish. He would always cry and be sad. Until one day, a dwarf came up to him and asked “what’s wrong?”. He replied “Nobody likes me, I’m too big”. The dwarf couldn’t understand why. He replied with, “It’s okay, bud! I am a wizard and can grant you any wish you want!” the giant got really happy. He replied “I want to be normal sized! Like all the other humans!” “That’s no problem! Just let me get my sidekick to provide the magic dust.” The dwarf turned to the bushes and out popped his sidekick Gwizzlkofin. “I will now make you normal sized” said the dwarf. He started mumbling some magic phrases when all of the sudden an evil creature jumped out of the bushes. “Get out of here you giant freak!” the evil creature yelled. The evil creature was actually just a human, but to Bob, he is an evil creature because of the way he treats Bob. Gwizzlekofin went to sit down and tripped over something half buried in the ground. “What’s this?!?” he brushed the dirt off and pulled it up, “It’s a holy grail! We’re rich!”. “Put that down, we have to grant this giant his wish!” he put the holy grail down. The dwarf started mumbling more phrases. Colorful  sparks started to fly out of his hands, the giant glowed bright yellow and green. 
         He started to shrink down to normal human size. “Thank you so much! How did you get these powers?!?” Bob asked. “Well, Bob, I am in fact a god. I rule all the lands” replied the dwarf. “All of them?” asked Bob. “Yes, the Northland to the Southland, Eastland to the Westland, I rule them all.” Bob was amazed. “Well, I hope I can get a friend now, because friends are important and they help you get by. I hope you and your sidekick are friends forever, because those are the best kinds of friends. Either way, as long as you only have one friend it’s okay, as long as they’re a good friend. Those are the best kinds, the ones that stay your friend for a long, long time.” Bob ended his speech with a blank stare. The dwarf had left a long time ago. He sat down for a second, scratching his head, there never was a dwarf. It was all in his head! He was never even a giant, he just had no friends so he made it up in his imagination. In the end he realized that he had the power to grant someone one wish, so he set off to find people to help.
