Far up in the sky, deep into the light, baby blue clouds lived Greg the giant. Greg the giant was a dark, plum purple giant who weighed seven tons and ate five large meals a day. He was not the largest giant where he lived, which was in Sky High County. Actually there were giants double the size of him that lived there! As much as Greg loved food, he could not cook. He didn't even know how to make orange ogre soup which was about as simple as making cereal. He did not own one gourd, shell or even a sharp rock to slice his food. He couldn't remember recipes that contained more than one element. Greg knew he was not capable to cook for himself, and he was not ready to learn. He definitely did not own any pepper! Giants react when given pepper by sneezing gianormous sneezes, which are bigger than the tree of knowledge. The only element giants reacted to was pepper. That was good because eating was like a hobby to Greg.

Since Greg loved eating so much and wasn't a good cook, he decided to hire himself one. He had read about a green goblin that was ready to be hired. She had just completed cooking school, and her name was Greta. Greg read Greta's info in the Sky High news and thought she would be a good cook for the job. Greg invited her over to his cloud home to sample some of her creations. The first time he tried her pastries they were the most delightful things he had ever tasted! She put the juiciest worms on them, and it made them taste out of this world! He decided to hire her and taste the other wonderful delights she had to offer.

Greta had a lot of experience in her own kitchen cooking for herself, but she had never cooked for a giant before. She was very nervous when she walked into his cloud puffed home. Finally, she became at ease as Greg made her feel welcome and told her she could make any creation she thought he would enjoy. It just needed to be some sort of element that was edible, and everything was edible for a giant except pepper. Greta could not wait to get started and make her favorite stew...grand goblin goo stew.

The elements in Greta's stew were very secret. They had been passed down in her family from generation to generation. Greta came into Greg's cozy, puffed living area to let him taste her creation. When Greg asked what the stew had in it, she said she couldn't tell because it was a secret recipe. He knew it was going to be good! So he took it and swallowed the whole thing. Then, immediately A-CHOO! A-CHOO!

Greta was astonished. She had never seen a giant react like this to one of her makings. But she had never cooked for a giant before. Greg barely caught his breath to say "what did you put in here?!" "Was it pepper?!" Greta replied surprised "well of course that gives it great taste!" "I'm allergic to pepper!" Greg replied "You never told me that, I am sorry!" Greta said. After Greg finished sneezing, they both looked down because they were hearing screams of laughter and joy below the clouds. As they glanced down to the earth they saw something remarkable.

The vibrant fall leaves were being blown off the trees! They were amazed! Greg did not know he had such strong and powerful sneezes that he could blow the leaves off the trees! Greta loved the trees with all the multicolored leaves. It was very scenic and beautiful. Now, every time fall comes around Greta always puts a little dash of pepper in Greg's food. She likes to watch the magnificent windstorm he creates with his powerful sneezes down on earth. She does not tell Greg because he would get angry with her. She doesn't want a giant mad at her because giants are much, much bigger than tiny green goblins. So she just keeps the little secret to herself and watches him give beauty to the earth.
