The Ruby-Red Cure for a Chocolate-Brown Giant
Deep within the emerald-green canopy of the ancient forest, Dr. Lito climbed a rickety bamboo ladder. Before him sat Agla, a massive, chocolate-brown kapre weeping tears as large as raindrops. The giant’s massive jaw was swollen, a painful reminder of his absolute love for thick, amber-coloured sweet cigars that smelled of burnt molasses.
With a flashlight emitting a bright, lemon-yellow beam, the brave dentist peered inside the mountain-sized mouth. There it was—a cavernous, charcoal-black cavity on a colossal molar. Working quickly, Dr. Lito cleaned the tooth and filled it with a magical, mint-scented turquoise paste. Instantly, the throbbing stopped. Agla’s teary, crimson eyes lit up with immense joy. As a token of gratitude, the gentle giant blew a cloud of glittering, lavender-scented smoke into the air, promising to trade his sweet cigars for fresh, ruby-red forest apples.
