“Whoa! You’re sooo small.” He looked up to see a curious young boy climbing down from his tree house, obviously a native among the Giants, playing in his backyard. Unfortunately, for Abdeen, his condition proved no contest even for a child Giant. He felt helpless, like a calf without its Mother in a den of lions. He had only one option: to talk his way out. Abdeen spoke in a friendly voice to the young boy. “You’re right. I’m so small you could squish me like a bug if you wanted to. But you’re a good boy, and you wouldn’t do that, right? What is your name, my new friend? And how old are you?” “My name is Aaron, and I’m seven. What’s your name?” Abdeen said, “I go by the name Abdeen. Aaron, where are your parents?” Distracted by Abdeen’s size, the boy missed his question. He walked around him as any curious child would. Soon, an adult would check on the little boy, so Abdeen had to act fast. Abdeen asked, “Hey, would you like to play Hide and Seek?” A frown appeared on Aaron’s face.
