The Specks of Rod were convinced that the giant had stomped on the Specks of Rilonate and made mush of them. As the giant got closer andcloser, word went through the crowd that the giant had finished off the Specks of Rilonate and was now coming to their kingdom to stomp on them.Some of the Specks ran away screaming; but most stood still, knowing they could not out-run the fearsome giant's feet. Then one Speck of Rodstarted clapping. At first, the Specks next to him thought he was crazy, but then they started clapping too. Soon a small group was clapping.Then most of the crowd was clapping and cheering and jumping up and down as the giant approached. They had figured that if the giant thought theywere glad that the Specks of Rilonate had been stomped to pudding, then he might spare them and consent to be their hero.
