There comes a time in a Giants life when you get fed up of walking around helping people and acting as God.
There comes a time in a Giants life where you just want to throw everything aside and just rock out.
Sadly, poor Doshin didn't have a Guitar and he didn't know a shop on any of the Tropical Islands which sold a good Heavy Metal CD. He didn't have much hair he could throw around and he wanted to grow a long, thick, beard to look not like a God but like a Rock God.
One day Doshin woke up and decided that it was time for a change. A villager asked him for some help but Doshin kindly stuck his middle finger up at him. He then went to the Forest and started carving away at some Trees, then he went to the Sea to get some mud and then some Fruits so he could change the colour of the mud. He then took this mud and put it all over his body, in different colours (mainly black) and scribbled on the name of his newly created one man band - The Dosh Shockers!
After doing different things every single day and leaving the Villagers wondering where the big yellow giant had gone he emerged from the water on a dark, crisp night. He climbed to the top of the highest hill and then pulled out his Guitar made of out of trees and the strings made of...something. Then suddenly he screamed "SHUT THE UP!" and the Caribbean music stopped leaving people to come out of their homes to see what was going on after being awoken.
Doshin then started to strum his home-made Guitar and it made a terrible sound. Everyone went back to bed, leaving Doshin alone, sitting there, crying, as he was stuck somewhere he didn't want to be. He had grown his hair and made his Guitar all for nothing. He had tried hard to get this far, tried to make something of his life but now it was all ruined.
Doshin felt as though everything had caved in on him until suddenly he heard something from the other side of the hills.
Stomp.
Stomp.
Stomp.
Doshin looked on not knowing how to feel.
Suddenly he felt as though someone was watching him and with that up popped an eye from the top of one of the hills.
It blinked once or twice and then up popped a head.
"Hello" said the large, friendly face. "I am The Green Giant, you may remember me from such adverts as the Pea's ad".
Doshin looked confused.
"I have brought along with me a stereo, some amps, two Electric guitars and a few of my favourite CD's. I've brought a wig too but I've seen you've grown your hair".
Doshin laughed and then smiled.
"Let's rock out!" shouted the Green Giant.
And with that they turned up the amps and the Stereo and heavy Metal was heard all through the night, not giving the villagers much sleep. All they heard was "THUMP! THUMP!" from the two giants headbanging in the Hills.
Soon the Green Giant had to go back to his own island, but he said he'd come back to visit Doshin in the future. Doshin couldn't wait until the time he came back again.
"See you later" Said the Green Giant passing over the stereo to his friend. "Take this and have fun with it. I'll catch up with you later Doshin the Moshin' Giant".
"Would you like to join my band?" asked Doshin. "Sure" said the Green Giant. And with that they both smiled leaving the Green Giant to dissapear back to the place he called home.
I felt like a Grandad telling his children a tale whilst writing it. But I was nearing the end so continued.
