Don Q and the clouds

Don Q saw clouds on the southern horizon: “See the dust rising from all the approaching giants, who grow every day.” He saw clouds on the northern horizon: “See the dust rising from all the giants among us, who grow every day.” He shouted louder until the people nearby, hearing nothing else, asked Don Q what to do about the giants. “We must send all the giants beyond the horizon.” The clouds from the southern storm kept growing every day, blowing their wind and rain towards the smoke from the northern fires, which kept growing every day. “The giants, the giants,” Don Q shouted. “The giants, the giants,” the people cried.
