This is Sen, and he is a boy.

Well, a giant boy!

Sen lives in a big cave and


does not go out much.

But today, Sen wants to see


the world.
Sen climbs out of the cave
and sees something.

A group of kids are watching


him!

'Hey, hello there!' Sen says.

But they run off, back to their


house.
Sen follows, and is sorry for
scaring them.

'I just want to play,' he says, as


softly as he can.

He sees that the children have


bikes!

'What are they?' he asks, eyes


wide.
The kids are scared by the giant.

The giant lifts a big hand and tries


to touch one of their bikes!

Sen's hand is so strong that as soon


as he touches it, the bike breaks.

'Oh no! It wants to eat us! Run!'


says Kem, one of the kids.
Kem and the others run back to the
house as fast as they can.

Kem takes his broken bike with him.

'Wait! Don't go, I just want to play!'


shouts Sen.

But his shout is so loud, it shakes


the roof.
Sen does not know what to do
or say.

He just wanted to play, but they


ran away from him.

And, he broke one of their bikes!

Sen starts to cry, and his tears


fall like rain.
Kem sees that Sen is in the
woods near the house.

He looks so sad, and he is


crying.

'He is not a monster,' Kem says.

'I think he is a boy, just like me.


A giant boy!'
Kem calls out to the giant boy,
as friendly as he can.

'Hey there, I'm Kem! What's your


name?' he asks.

'I am Sen,' he says, looking at


Kem sadly.

'I am sorry for breaking your


bike,' says Sen.
"Don't worry about it!' says
Kem.

'Would you like to play with me


and my friends?'

This is what Sen wanted to


hear!

'I would love to,' Sen shouts!


Sen takes them back to the
giant cave.

'Wow, there is so much food


here!' Kem says.

'Have as much as you like,' says


Sen.

'You are my friends now, and I


am so glad I found you!'
