                  Finn McCool looked across the sea.           enormous baby’s bed.

                Finn shouted back.                             his head.

                  “I’m stronger than you,” said                  Oonagh smiled. “He’s not here.                                              4    Express yourself. Choose an activity.
                Benandonner. “I’m braver, too.”                Come in and wait.”

                  Finn McCool wanted to fight.                   Inside Benandonner looked for Finn.                                              1.  Which character in the story do you like best? Design a costume
                He had an idea. He picked up huge                                                                                                    for an actor playing that character. Draw, paint, or make a collage of

                He made a path, or causeway, over              Oonagh said. “He’s so cute.”                                                       2.  Write a different ending for the story. In a group of three, act out the
                the water, and began to walk across.             Benandonner looked at the                                                           story with your ending.

                She was worried.                                 “WAAH! WAAH!” cried the baby,                                                    3.  Draw the story as a comic strip. Use pictures and speech bubbles.

                  Soon Finn was worried, too.                  very loudly.
                Close up he saw that Benandonner                 Benandonner stopped in surprise.
                was much, much bigger than him.                Finn’s baby was enormous. So how

                  Finn didn’t want to fight now.               big was Finn? Scared, Benandonner
                He turned and ran home.                        ran out of the house and across
                                                               the causeway to Scotland, never
