The giant roared as he flicked the buildings aside like tiny toys. p. 7 "Aaaah! Someone save us!" cried the villagers, as they ran this way and that, trying to escape.

They had to find a way to stop his attacks on the village. "We must do something," soured the mayor. He was standing on a table so that everyone could see him. "For months now, the giant _________________________________________. It takes weeks to fix the damage, then the giant just comes back to destroy everything again. He's __________________________________, but what does he want? He never takes anything. Is he hungry?" p. 10 "We could try and ask him?" said the baker. "If he's hungry, I can make a giant loaf of bread. That will fix him!"

"Yes, let's ____________________________________," the farmer agreed. "If he's hungry, I have plenty of food on my farm." "But he never takes any food when he comes here," said the farmer's wife. "He could _________________________________________. He just roars and smashes everything, then leaves. p. 11 "We needs to reason with him," said the tailor. "And how ______________________________________________, mad giant?" asked the carpenter. "No one here dares to face the dangerous giant." "Yes," said the butcher, "the _________________________________________." Everyone started shouting and arguing. They simply couldn't agree on what to do. Chapter 2, p. 12 The mayor listened to everyone arguing. "Enough!" he shouted. "There's only one thing we can do. We must ___________________________________, or we will never have peace in our village." Everyone was quiet. Then the tailor finally spoke up. "Kill him?" said the tailor. "But we're not warriors. _____________________________________________, and not one of us knows how to kill a dangerous giant." p. 13 "Only we can save our village," the mayor told everyone. "We'll put all our _________________________________________. That's the fairest want to choose who will face the giant." All the men put their names into a box.

"Derrick the dentist?" Everyone _____________________. Although very experienced with people's teeth, the village dentist was a small, thin man.

"You have been chosen to save our village from the dangerous

giant," the mayor announced. "Tomorrow the blacksmith will prepare your armor and sword. You are our champion, Derrick the dentist. Good luck." p. 16 The following morning at the blacksmith's shop, the dentist looked a sorry sight. The armor was far too big for him. It clanged every time he moved. When he was handed the sword, the little dentist _________________________________________. The villagers laughed loudly. p. 17 Derrick the dentist tried to be brave. He knew he had to try his best to ________________________. "Don't take the armor off," warned the blacksmith. "It will protect you from the giant." "If you take the armor off, the giant will _________________________________________," teased the butcher. The villagers laughed again. p. 18 Yet no one laughed as the dentist slowly rode the brown horse down the main street to go and meet the dangerous giant. Everyone knew that the little mans _________________________________________________ indeed. They waved a sad goodbye to their fellow villager. Good luck, shouted the butcher. p. 20 Chapter 3 Derrick the dentist reached the northern woods after a few days ride. The forest was dark. Derrick looked for clues so that he could find his way to the giants cave. He saw huge footprints along the winding path. He took a deep _________________________________________________journey.

Whos there? roared the giant, in a _________, ________________________________. Who dares enter my land? The little dentist stepped out from behind the bushes. I am the _________________________________________, he cried. I challenge you to fight to the death. p. 26 The dentist ________________________________, but he immediately fell to the floor.

p. 27 On the third try, the dentist managed to stand. T________________ from head to toe, he held up the heavy sword as _______________________________. The heavy sword made Derrick shake inside his armor, creating a rattling sound. The giant burst out laughing. Hahahah! They sent you to kill me? he shouted. A find joke, Im sure. But little man, __________________________________. The giant stepped forward and raised his fists, preparing to crush the dentist like an insect. Chapter 4 p. 29 Poor Derrick the dentist was ______________________. He couldnt ______________ because of the heavy armor. The giant stepped forward waving his fists. He was surely going to crush the little dentist. Derrick _________________________________________from being squished like a bug. Suddenly, the giant stopped his attack. He turned away, clutching his jaw in pain. The giant _________________________________________ half. He took one end of the tree and stuck it in his mouth like a toothpick.

A giant toothache! p. 31 It was clear that the giant was in ___________. And the toothache explained why the giant never took anything when he attacked the village. He just ______________________ because he was in so much pain. Thats a pretty bad toothache that you have, said Derrick the dentist. ________________? cried the giant. Theres something stuck in my tooth. He sat there ______________________________toothpick. It looks like a classic case of toothache to me. Maybe I can help? asked Derrick. p. 32 Never! roared the giant.

You are too small. And what do you know about teeth anyway? Oh, I know a lot about teeth, said the dentist. Ive treated peoples toothaches for years in my village. I know your toothache is a lot bigger, but the problem is much the same. Derrick had to ______________ the giant that he wasnt trying to trick him, so the dentist put down his sword. Then derrick took off his helmet, too. He was very _________________________________________and even happier to take off the heavy, uncomfortable helmet. The giant let out a _________________ roar, but remained still. p. 34 The dentist climbed onto a rock and told the giant to pen his mouth. The giants __________________ almost made the dentist __________. The dentist looked into the giants mouth and found the problem. Just as I thought! the dentist said. Now, come along.

The giant isnt going to harm us. He just ______________ help, explained the dentist. Help? Why? asked the mayor. He just needs some dental work, said the dentist. And I can help him.

p. 40 "Good luck! shouted the butcher. Everyone knew that before a _________________ could be ____________, there would be even greater pain. How would they control the dangerous giant as the dentist tried to pull out the bad tooth? Surely there would be even more destruction in the village! But the giant wasnt attacking. Im _________ of this pain, moaned the giant, holding onto his aching jaw. Ill do anything if you can stop the pain for me. The mayor listened carefully and then spoke to the giant. p. 41 Okay, he said, but you must promise never to attack our village again. The giant promised, nodding his huge head. p. 43 And so all the villagers helped the brave dentist ______________ the giant for the dental work.

They both _________________________ the giants chin. Luckily, they wore face masks to protect themselves from the giants bad breath. Then the tailor tied a rope around the bad tooth. The farmer brought two of his strongest horses to pull the rope. The horses pulled and pulled until the huge bad tooth came __________________of the giants mouth. That evening, the baker made some soft bread, and the farmer and his wife made a huge pot of hot vegetable soup for the giant to eat. p. 44 And _______ to his word, the giant ______________________ village again.
