"Beware of man eating Turkey." the sign said, and Saghir shook in his boots.
"How can a simple man devour a whole country?" The thought penetrated the short little man's brain. The sign had to be wrong.
He had heard stories, of course, but they couldn't be true. People really didn't eat other people. Saghir looked one more time at the sign. The "T" in Turkey was wrong. It should have been lowercase.
"Ah, the bird, the gobbler..." Saghir smiled and turned, bumping right into the giant's shoe.
