A lonely giant makes a wish to a genie for a friend, and ends up with a smelly troll.

If you climb to the top of the beanstalk, you will find one very lonely giant surrounded by riches and golden eggs, but sadly no friends. Do you know how hard it is to play table tennis or see saw by yourself? 

All the villagers are wary of the giant because he's a giant, so our desperate Giant makes a wish with the genie of the well for a friend. The best the genie can offer is a filthy smelly troll. The giant accepts willingly, and the two become the best of friends. 

But it is not easy having a troll as a best friend; they smell like fish and eat everything in sight, whether it is edible or not! The villagers are up in arms as the troll eats them out of house and home, and decide he must leave the kingdom. But perhaps all is not lost? Maybe that horrific smell can be put to good use against the biggest baddie in the kingdom...
