In the heart of the distant jungle, where the flora reaches toward the sky, resided a colossal creature, it was a massive pachyderm with beige fur and soft eyes, though its size terrified numerous creatures, Goliath possessed compassion as vast as its limbs. By day, it ran along the jungle trails. It lifted large baskets into the river to travel quickly, and it also extended tubes into climbing plants for tiny ants.


One day, while exploring an family area, Giant heard a rustling among the leaves, it was Lila, a sky-blue butterfly, crying because the flowers in her garden had fallen in the wind, moved, Giant decided to help the butterfly. Cautiously, he lifted her up with a snout and, returning to the root of the plant, pulled three seeds from the ground, then, using his trunk, he lit the three small holes and filled them with water from a nearby spring, the other animals, watching from their hiding places, filled the place with shining sheets of stone and leaves of infinite colors.


Over time, that neglected space transformed into an enchanting "hidden garden," a mystical area where flowers glowed in the moonlight and creatures were summoned to tell stories, Giant, happy, became its guardian, protecting the place with his giant shadow. At night, Lila and her companions serenaded him with melodies of gratitude, and he retreated with soft notes that made the stars tremble.


But one afternoon, the hunters arrived at the jungle looking for exotic animals, a large monster heard their footsteps, entered the garden, and let out a very loud noise that shook the ground. The instruments, frightened by its ferocity, fled forever, the animals were proud, and Lila, smitten, made a flower crown for her friend.


His greatness came from his love, not just his size, although he's gone, the animals know that on dark, moonlit nights, they can still hear the sounds of their neighborhood's ecology and the flowers that give it its name.
