She spent her days rolling in the chuffland wood, swimming on moonlit nights in the river Severn and mucking out dirty stables. One day her father exchanged some magic beans for an old piano and began to teach the girl songs by Schubert, although she didn't understand the words the girl loved the way the music made her feel bigger. People from around the lands came to see this small girl and her loud sounds.One day the girl decided that the little fold in the hill had become too small for her noisy voice so she called her guitar playing brother Heff and together they packed their satchels and made for the sprawling, gloomy, greyness of London. With a skip in her step and hope in her heart, the girl could not foresee the dangers that lay in her path.When they arrived at the outer walls of London there stood a huge giant swinging and swiping with his immense club, the giant captured the girl and took her away to a tiny yellow room at the top of a tower in the depths of London. Here he gave her paper and a pen. She wrote and wrote and sang and sang through a tiny window trying to use her noisy voice to attract someone to save her. Meanwhile Heff was distraught and worried for his sister, so he found an excitable young boy with eight strong legs - which he used to play his instrument - and he asked him to help find the girl.There was a dark and haunted garden around the tower of the giant with immense rose bushes and thorns like knives. At the edge of the garden Heff and the boy (who he named 8legs) met a funny little man who was pruning the roses. The man said "If you wish to get through these thorns you must beat upon my drum with all the force of a giant." He produced a drum that was made from the skin of trolls and he beat upon it with such force and strength that 8legs and Heff wept. The thorns receded into the stalks and bright blooms appeared in their place. They asked the man to join their quest and he agreed with relish, pruning the bushes afforded him nothing but cuts and blisters.They arrived at the foot of the tower and could hear the voice of the girl calling out to them. The walls were covered in creeping creatures with two heads and others with many legs and bottoms where arms should be. Not knowing what to do the companions sat down in despair 8legs sat on his instrument which made a loud and dischordant sound making the creatures writhe and flinch. Suddenly Heff had an idea, he took his guitar and began to play and sing sweet songs full of love and passion, 8legs took his instrument and began to weave magical notes within the notes of Heff, the notes enhanced and made whole the sounds of Heff, then Byron began to drum a heavy, dark rhythym that reverberated against the tower walls, the creatures began to sway with the music and change shape until they formed steps leading all the way to the top of the tower.The girl seeing her chance dashed down the steps singing with joy to be back with her brother and his peculiar but strangely pleasant friends. They all embraced with joy but as they did so they dropped their instruments, the creatures began to screech and wail mourning the loss of the girl and the music.Snoozing down in the depths of his castle the giant awoke with a start and scrambled to reach his garden, roaring with rage. When he saw the kind way in which these people were being with each other the giant knelt down and said "my name is Ben and I offer you my rumbling noises" The others agreed that they should treat Ben with kindness despite his previous bad deeds.Together they changed the tower and gardens into a beautiful place where animals dwelt and music was made. The girl now felt content and happy with her new friends and she began to sing the sad songs of her capture with a new delight and freshness. London did not look so grey then and the garden spread and the roses bloomed. THE END° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° °
