In The Land of Imparity lived Gregorius the Giant. 

Mighty and powerful, his position had been handed 

down to him from the family tree. He was the tallest 

one in the entire kingdom. Because of his height, he 

believed he was entitled to do whatever he wants.

Lewin, a goat who is a baker, works hard to support 

his family. He finds happiness in the few things he 

has. One day, he saw Gregorius walking about outside 

of his shop. Lewin felt obligated to show him respect. 

He stepped inside the bakery.

“Hello Sir Gregorius. How can I be of service to thee?” 

Lewin felt nervous. Gregorius responded, “I want your 

entire case of pastries.” Lewin’s heart was beating fast. 

“B-but sir, you see, I only made so many and I will 

not have enough for everyone.” Gregorius fumed. 

“I do not care! I deserve all of these sweets!” 

Lewin was prepared to record his order when 

suddenly, Gregorius uses his gigantic hands to 

slide the glass case open and take all of the 

pastries. He walks out with no remorse. At least 

not yet.  

Lewin stood aghast at what had 

happened. The most powerful 

giant in the Kingdom had 

unjustly stole all of his goods 

after he stayed up all night 

preparing them. He felt sick. 

There was nothing he could do. 

He would not be able to bring 

any money home for his family 

today. Lewin’s eyes watered and 

he walked to the door and 

switched the sign to “closed.”

Over yonder, Coraline the Crow sat in a darken 

alley. Her feathers were a dead leaf that had 

fallen from an autumn tree. and had 

misshapen beak. She had no nest and no food. 

Overall, she was marginalized by the kingdom.

She smelled a warm, fresh batch of baked goods, like 

cake and other sweets. Those have to to be the best 

sweets in the world. She eagerly followed their scent 

and it led her to a lavish household. She had never seen 

such a beautiful estate. Noticing an open window, she 

flew up into the house. There were two baskets with all 

kinds of pastries. 

Wanting to make a quick decision, she grabbed three 

small cakes when suddenly, she heard a door burst 

open. She could not believe her eyes. It was Gregorius 

the Giant! He ran towards her with legs as long as a 

short tree and grabbed her. She cawed loudly as she 

twisted and turned. She dropped two cakes as she 

immediately fluttered out the window and was able to 

keep one. 

“You will regret this, you mangy bird!” Gregorius 

shouted.

Late in the night, Gregorius left his home. He walked 

down a dark road in the cold rain. I am going to find 

that squalid bird. A kind hearted person could not 

fathom Gregorius’s dark plan. Eventually he found 

Coraline sleeping under a small tree branch. He 

reached out and scooped her up. That night, Coraline 

the Crow had lost her wings. 

Gregorius stared blankly out the window. He 

felt like a true monster. He had noticed 

something odd. The window was farther up 

than it usually is and he could not reach to 

close it. What’s wrong with me? He looked 

down and saw that he was very close to the 

ground. Is this a dream? I am never this small. 

As he pondered, a thought came to him. This 

seemed to happen after my interactions with 

Lewin and Coraline. I have made a mistake. 

Gergorius’s smallness on the inside now 

reflected on the outside.   

Gregorius wanted to be tall again. He thought to 

himself, Perhaps I must reverse all of my 

wrongdoings. He went to go talk to Lewin the 

Baker. He headed towards the bakery and on the 

way, citizens of the kingdom stopped and 

gawked at Gregorius. Some even snickered at his 

new height. Gregorius felt powerless and knew 

there was nothing he could do about them so he 

just bowed his head towards the ground. 

He opened the bakery door and Lewin looked 

up. He jumped and an uncomfortable mix of 

shock and surprise appeared on his face. 

“Look at the mighty Gregorius, not even five 

feet tall,” Lewin sneered. 

“Lewin I am here to fix the mess I have caused 

for you. My new height is the result of my 

actions. I would like to help you for free. My 

payment will be my new understanding of you.”

Lewin stood silently and glanced over his display 

of pastries.  

“Very well. I will accept your help but as of now, 

I hold almost no respect for you.”

All day, Gregorius washed dishes, cleaned the 

display case and helped Lewin do simpler baking 

tasks. He realized how much work it takes to 

run a bakery and keep track of the orders and 

customer flow. For once, he wasn’t in charge 

and worked with effort.
