Too-too-moo and the Giant

Once on the island of Java there was a little girl named Too-too-moo. She lived with her
Mama in a one-room house in a forest. They were poor but they were happy.
Or they would have been happy, if not for a terrible giant who came and ate their food every
day. Mama knew, if the giant came and did not find a full pot of porridge, he would eat Too-too-
moo instead! Since they had to feed the giant, there was never enough for themselves.
One day, Mama did not get food as much as usual; she had only enough food for the giant.
She and Too-too-moo had to go hungry. They were starving for few days.
On the fourth morning, Too-too-moo got up, and smell the sweet aroma of the porridge.
Too-too-moo was so hungry, she couldn’t stand it.
“I’ll eat just one spoonful,” she said to herself. “The giant will never know.”
Too-too-moo uncovered the pot and ate one spoonful. But she was too hungry to stop!
Before she knew what she was doing, a quarter of the porridge was gone.
When the giant came, he was so angry. Then he pulled Too-too-moo from the house, tossed
her in his mouth, and swallowed her in one big gulp.
Too-too-moo tumbled into the giant’s stomach. “Please let me out!” she shouted. But the
giant didn’t listen as he turned and stamped back through the forest.
Then all of a sudden, Too-too-moo remembered her long hairpin. Quickly she pulled it from
her hair. With all her strength, Too-too-moo stuck it into the giant, again and again.
The giant mad with pain and raced through the woods. He did not look where he was going,
and he tripped on a root and cracked his head on a rock.
The giant was dead!
From that time on, Too-too-moo and her Mama were happy. There was no more giant to
bother them. They always had enough to eat. And they had sweet porridge for breakfast, every
single day.
