It was the witching hour

when they go out to hunt.

When people disappear.

Matthew believes the witching

hour now arrives at midnight.

The girls say 1 am.

I think it comes at 3 in the morning,

when I'm the only one still awake

As usual.

Like now.

Hear!

They're drunk all of you!

You could go?

There are children trying to sleep.

Hi. miss. Do not tell Miss!

I'll call the police I will

Never leave the bed.

Never go to the window.

And never look back...

Curtain

Never leave the bed, never go to the window

and never look behind the curtain!

You do not have to go

unless you have wings

I'm hungry I'm starving.

Where I am?

In the Land of the Giants.

Surely we are very far away.

Yes, it was a distance.

What was that? What was that?

giants

There are more than yours?

Flesh-eating, Machaca-bones.

Chews-hugging men-children, Chorrea-meat,

Traga-maidens sweetbreads Smasher

Bottler blood. Bottler blood?

If and butcher.

The butcher.

Please do not eat me.

I?

You think because I'm a giant

man-eating'm a cannibal.

I? Eat a human Jewish? Please!

Never would.

So, who are you?

What kind of monster are you?

You misjudge me.

I kidnapped.

Well, then you judge me well.

Finally, do not steal to eat.

After all, you're just a little.

I can not help thinking what your

poor mother and father should...

I have no mother or father

No?

They died when I was a baby

So you're an orphan?

Yes. you took me to an orphanage.

You did not know?

I did not know that.

Were you happy there?

I do not hate it

The lady who runs it is incompetent and

It has crazy rules and punish you very much.

How do you punish?

You locked in a dark cellar.

There are rats down there.

Dirty old witch.

The other giants

They are kind like you?

No, I regret to say that the

guys would eat you alive bite.

More than 24 feet,

the population of the Land of Giants

And that's where you are.

In the Land of the Giants now.

But why did you bring me here?

Why you took me?

I had to take

Because the first thing you

would do would spread the news

you actually saw a giant.

And then there would be a big fuss.

And all human beans would be

looking for the giant dresses

all excited,

and then I would be locked up in a cage

to look at me with all the noisy

hypo-fat and crocodiles and giraffes.

And then there would be a huge

hunt for all the guys giants

I will not say

Nobody would listen to me anyway.

I am an unreliable Nina.

If you would.

I would not do it.

If you would. I would not do it.

If you would. I would not do it!

You would say to everyone

probably in the speaker box TV

and radio squeaky

I will not say. I will never do it.

Please take me home.

I'm scared, I want to go home.

No

Horrible.

You just have to stay here with me.

For the rest of our lives

You mean my life.

For the rest of my life.

Hey, do not you cold?

Naughty.

I'm going to escape.

Listen out. Listen, you.

I warn you.

Never leave the cave without me you.

Or will your poor little purpose.

Your stop me. I escapeth 1000 times

I have instincts.

Instincts. I thought that humans had brains,

but you're not ready I can not stop.

These giant swallow you

like a piece of pumpkin pie.

It is not pumpkin pie pumpkin pie.

And giraffes are giraffes.

Crocodiles are crocodiles

and hypo-fat are hippos.

I can not help but say some strange things.

I can not be right all the time.

Most of the time I left

instead of the right.

Sorry, I did not mean to be rude.

Good. the words sometimes say what you mean

and sometimes two different things.

What were you reading?

Nicholas Nickleby

What's in the bottle.

Dreams.

Dreams are not things.

I do not sleep, actually. I have insomnia.

Oh yeah?

Dreams are actually very mysterious things

All the time you're looking to sleep.

With swollen veins and skin burning.

Boiled eyes. Do you know how to read!

Thoughts rushed in disorder. "

He felt a twinge of reproach, and shrugged "

involuntarily since it is the day since "

He saw the horrible thing... "

Ayudame!

No wait

Help me!

Help!

You did that!

You judge me well.

I told you. I do not sleep,

so it's much scarier than it needs to be.

It must be.

Now you know you can not sneak around

without being eaten like an onion.

The giants are all murderers and cannibals.

To swallow human beans like sugar cubes.

Jewish beings

You will eat anyway.

What is that green thing.

Frobscuttel.

All drink giant frobscuttel

He goes to the wrong side.

All bubbles go up.

Above? Above?

Bubbles going up they give belching filthy.

But what's wrong with a

little burp occasionally

in noisy

But if your tummy bubbles go down and out...

another place,

that could have an unpleasant outcome.

Un whizzpopper.

Whizzpopper?

Yes, the sound of true happiness.

Oh no

It is bubbling!

Are you with someone?

No.

You were chatting

Who do you charlabas?

Why are you so talkative in the morning?

Why do not you sleeping today?

For woke me with your talk.

I have a yaya.

Possibly later.

Fix now

I just have to throw you water

No water no

Water. do not

Come here, come here.

You have a new little friend.

I smell it I'll find

I'll eat it.

I'm hungry

If you're not going to eat that nascomber?

It is a fresh crunchy nascomber.

I do not eat that disgusting trash

How do you know? You've never tried.

Smells bad

You should eat good vegetables ever.

What's wrong with you.

Outside it is horrible.

But inside I smell something very familiar

Yes, go ahead. Eat it, it's great.

Espera! Espera!

You hate the vegetables you eat only beans

I hate vegeterribles. Just as Jewish

oi. Si

And. And.

And

And.

And

That's what I said

That's what I said I said it

I hate fruits and vegeterribles.

And the water.

And the water. I hate water

I take this

You are an insult to the giant village

Very hot! Very hot!

Do you have something to wear?

Where did you get the jacket?

Your scraps. She is pretty.

Spend algo7

No it does not matter

Where we go?

To work. What's your job?

And now he asks me to

tell you very big secrets.

I will not tell you. How could I, anyway?

I'm stuck here for the rest of my life.

I catch dreams

I wanna go.

Your you stay here

I will not do it.

If you are a human bean and human beans

They are the prey of those giants out there

so you stay in a nice safe place right here.

It's not possible.

I will hunt dreams every day and go alone.

It is the habit

But you'll leave me here with them.

I will eat.

Not if you stay here

I'll hunt dreams.

I go alone

You stay up there.

Oh my goodness.

You can not keep secrets from me.

It's too late for that

You must take me. Do not

We can not have secrets. I'll tell you mine.

I sneak out at night too

and sometimes theft and lying.

I've never had a better friend,

I told you all that

Get over it. Get over it.

If flesh-eating comes to eat,

my blood will be on your hands.

All you have to do with you

going against my better judgment.
