Oh, ​indeed! ​Let’s ​bring ​this ​back ​to ​speed. A ​field ​we ​see, ​the ​usual ​shrubs ​and ​trees A ​subtle ​breeze... ​look, ​just ​everything ​you ​need. And ​on ​the ​road ​we ​see ​someone ​you ​know You ​remember, ​no? ​From ​a ​previous ​episode Why, ​it’s ​Malcolm ​going ​on ​his ​way ​to ​home He ​passes ​by ​a ​river ​wide ​a ​shimmering ​light ​catches ​his ​sight. ​And ​so ​he ​dives ​in ​and, surprise! ​He ​sees ​our ​guy, ​and ​he ​recognizes ​the ​stony ​giant. ​He ​might, ​or ​it ​kinda ​reminds ​him of ​that ​giant ​bride. ​He ​waves ​a ​“hi”, ​and ​with ​big ​jewel ​eyes ​it ​sighs ​- “Hello ​and ​welcome ​to ​my ​home ​here ​in ​the ​water. ​It’s ​so ​exciting, ​it’s ​exactly ​what ​I ​wanta. You ​see ​I ​travelled ​far ​to ​discover ​what ​I ​are...” ​and ​Malcolm ​laughed ​and ​corrected ​his grammar. ​Then ​he ​thought ​and ​said ​“ahh! ​I ​might ​be ​your ​father. My ​giant ​girlfriend ​was ​out ​every ​damn ​weekend. ​And ​I ​remember ​when, ​her ​eggs.. ​I ​dusted them. ​So ​yeah, ​no ​amends, ​I ​put ​it ​to ​an ​end.” But ​he ​looked ​in ​awe ​at ​his ​crusty ​claw ​and ​its ​beastly ​jaw ​and ​the ​bear-like ​paws, ​and ​the stony ​warts ​and ​whatever ​more.. ​It ​was ​nothing ​like ​he’d ​seen ​before. ​‘Cept ​his ​bride ​(the whore) ​and ​his ​mind ​it ​thought ​of ​all ​the ​sorts ​of ​guys ​she ​saw. ​And ​he ​stopped ​and ​paused and ​chose ​to ​ignore ​it ​all... ​and ​said “I ​always ​dreamt ​that ​I ​might ​have ​a ​son ​or ​daughter. ​Now ​you ​can ​live ​out ​in ​my ​house ​of brick ​and ​mortar.” “But ​I’ve ​been ​happy ​living ​down ​here ​in ​the ​water. ​It’s ​so ​enticing, ​it’s ​precisely ​what ​I’m after/orfter. “Oh! ​No ​you ​should ​come ​with ​me. ​Obey ​your ​father’s ​orders. You ​will ​move ​in ​at ​once ​into ​my ​living ​quarters.” “AAAWWW ​but ​I ​was ​happy ​living ​deep ​down ​in ​the ​water And ​it ​hurts ​to ​walk ​up ​there ​now ​that ​I’m ​made ​of ​boulder.”
