Book excerpt: Summary about this story: "The Day the Tall Man Got Lost" is a touching children's story that takes readers on a fantastic journey with Tim, the tallest man in the world, as he finds a mysterious map that leads him to Tiny Island. Tim lived in a big city not too far away. The world around him seemed small and unimportant because he was so tall. But when he found a map to Tiny Island, he couldn't turn down the chance for an adventure. Tim found himself on Tiny Island, where everything was small, including the trees, houses, and, most importantly, the Littles, who were tiny people. Tim was greeted with open arms by these friendly people, and he quickly learned that their way of life was marked by their friendliness, sense of community, and simplicity. Tim and the Littles went on a beautiful journey. They went through honey-scented flower fields, sparkling woods, and magical places like Tiny Lake and Tiny Market. He was amazed by how beautiful this small world was, and he became close with the people who lived there. Tim knew it was time to leave the tiny world that had won his heart and go back to the big city as the sun went down. The Littles waved goodbye with their tiny hands, and their bright eyes showed both sadness and hope. When Tim went back to the busy city, he couldn't stop thinking about his day on Tiny Island. He had learned that real greatness was not measured by how tall you are but by how many connections you have, how generous you are, and how well you can see beauty in simple things. Tim's life in the big city changed when he put what he learned on Tiny Island to use. He tried to get his friends to live more simply, love nature, and feel like they were part of a community. He helped people for free and told them about what he had learned, which made them kinder and simpler. Tim always had memories of Tiny Island with him, even though he lived in a big, complicated world. The lessons he had learned and the friends he had made changed his life. He knew that sometimes the most amazing things can happen in the most ordinary places, and that the most magical things can happen in the most ordinary times. "The Day the Tall Man Got Lost" is a story about finding yourself, changing, and the power of kindness and community that lasts. It tells us that the most exciting things can happen in the most unexpected places, and that the most profound and lasting magic can happen in the most ordinary things. Here's how the story starts: Once upon a time, on a bright morning in a place not too far away, a tall man named Tim lived there. Tim was a good example of the power of being taller than most people. He stood out in a world where most people couldn't even reach his chest. He was amazed by the unique view his height gave him, since he was so tall that even the largest people of his time were dwarfed by him. From his point of view, the way the world worked was both interesting and strange. Tim lived in the middle of a huge, busy city in a big, stately house that fit his towering height. It was a beautiful building that looked like it reached for the sky, and it reflected how powerful he was in the city. The greatness of the building was shown by its beautiful front, which had intricate carvings and tall columns on either side of the entrance. Tim looked out over the skyline from his luxurious home with a sense of power. He watched the tiny people below going about their daily lives as if they were small figures in a big diorama. Tim's world was full of highs and lows. The things he did every day showed how different things were in his surroundings. He walked through the twisting streets of the city and felt like a giant among the people who lived there. In comparison, the busy people looked like a sea of moving dots, and the cars moving below him looked like small toys. Even everyday things like lampposts and park benches looked like tiny decorations in his huge kingdom. Tim loved the many benefits of being taller than most people. He thought it was great that he didn't need ladders to get things off high shelves or change light bulbs. His friends used to joke that he had a "top shelf" view of life. Even though it was easy and interesting, his height made him feel alone. When he talked to other people, he often had to stoop or crouch, as if he were physically and mentally lowering himself to their level. Even though he looked powerful and had a lot of luxury, Tim was interested in a lot more than his big house and the city around it. He wanted to see the world from a different point of view and understand what it was like to live with people whose lives seemed so small compared to his. Tim was digging around in his closet one morning when he came across an old, worn-out map that would change his life forever. He was interested in the paper because it had a picture of Tiny Island on it. It drew him in with the promise of magic and wonder, and he couldn't resist the pull of the unknown. Tim went on an adventure, holding the map tightly in his huge hand. He was going to a world that was the exact opposite of his own. The trip itself to Tiny Island was an adventure. Tim, the giant, got on a small boat that seemed so small compared to him that it was almost funny. As he flew away from the tall buildings of the city, the world around him changed in a big way. The water spread out in front of him, and it looked like the sky went on forever. It was a big change from his everyday life, which was spent in crowded streets and big buildings. As the boat got closer to Tiny Island, Tim's heart rate went up. When he stepped onto the island, he felt like Gulliver in the land of the Lilliputians. The trees around him were only about as tall as his knee, and their leaves moved slowly in the breeze. The flowers' many colors look like little pearls strewn all over the ground. The houses he found were small and cozy, about the size of dollhouses, and they were hidden among the plants and flowers like gifts. Tim was most interested in the people who lived on Tiny Island, though. These little people, who were no taller than his hand, made him smile with their strangeness. Their eyes shone like stars, and their big smiles made them look warm and friendly. When a giant from the big world showed up, it got their attention. They welcomed him with open arms. Tim and the Littles went on an adventure to find out more about the magical world of Tiny Island. The Littles were so happy as they led him through fields of tiny flowers that smelled so good. They went through beautiful woods where the trees sparkled in the light, and they showed him the smallest animals on the island. As the day went on, Tim couldn't help but be amazed by how beautiful and simple Tiny Island was. In a world where everything was small and fragile, he learned a lot about how complicated life can be. He liked the Littles' ability to make a thriving community even though they were small. Their tiny leaf-and-twig homes were works of art, and their tiny crops gave them a lot of food. Tim's friendship with the Littles grew stronger as time went on. They told each other stories and laughed, and Tim realized that they had a lot in common despite how different they looked. He learned a lot from the Littles about being part of a group, being kind, and enjoying the simple things in life. Tim knew it was time to leave Tiny Island when the orange and pink colors of the setting sun filled the sky with golden rays. The Littles came to say their last goodbyes, and their small voices were full of sadness and thanks. They had grown to like the huge guest, and when they left, it meant the end of a great day. Tim went back to the small boat that would take him back to the big city. The Littles showed him the way. He thanked his new friends very much and promised to come back. As the boat moved away, he looked back at the small island and thought about how nice the day had been. Tim couldn't help but think about his trip to Tiny Island when he got back to the big city with its tall buildings and busy streets. It had been a day of magic and new discoveries that had changed his view of life for good. Even though he was the biggest person on Earth, he found that the people of Tiny Island had a lot to teach him. Tim went for a walk one day when the sun cast a warm, golden glow over the city and made everything look warm and inviting. On this beautiful morning, Tim's path led him to a surprising find because of a bit of luck. As he walked down the streets he knew, lost in thought, he came across a part of the city that looked like it wasn't being taken care of. There, a charming old bookstore was nestled between new shops. Tim's attention was drawn to a dusty window display. Beneath the layers of age and disrepair was a treasure chest of forgotten stories. He opened the door, which creaked, and walked into the cozy little shop. The walls were lined with rows and rows of books, whose spines sagged from holding so many stories. The air was full of the smell of old paper, a relaxing scent that took him back in time right away. As he walked along the shelves, his fingers ran over the old covers of the books. Each one held a world of adventure in its pages. But it wasn't a book that brought him in that day; it was a faded, old map that stood out on a small wooden board next to the bar. The title "Tiny Island" was written in a fancy, curling script that seemed to whisper secrets of a long-gone world. The map was framed in broken leather. The paper had turned yellow from age, and the ink lines made complicated landscapes and strange shapes that hinted at adventure and mystery. Tim's interest was first sparked by the intriguing word, but it grew into a strong desire to see this unknown country. The chart's appeal drew him in, and he couldn't say no to the temptation it offered. As shown on the map, Tiny Island wasn't just any island. It was a magical place where reality seemed to shrink to comedic proportions. People said that it was home to tiny people, animals that were no bigger than his palm, and homes that were no bigger than his palm. Tim's heartbeat fast as he held the map, which felt rough and brittle to the touch. He felt like an adventurer from one of the many books he had read in his huge home library. The idea of going somewhere where everything was small and pretty was enticing, like a call to step out of the everyday and into the unusual. Tim didn't think twice before making his choice. He was going to Tiny Island, a place that offered more magic and adventure than he could have ever imagined. He set off on a trip that would take him far out of his comfort zone. He left the busy streets of the city, which seemed tiny next to their huge size, behind.

Download or read book The Fast Red Road written by Stephen Graham Jones and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fast Red Road--A Plainsong is a novel which plunders, in a gleeful, two-fisted fashion, the myth and pop-culture surrounding the American Indian. It is a story fueled on pot fumes and blues, borrowing and distorting the rigid conventions of the traditional western. Indians, cowboys, and outlaws are as interchangeable as their outfits; men strike poses from Gunsmoke, and horses are traded for Trans-Ams. Pidgin, the half-blood protagonist, inhabits a world of illusion--of aliens, ghosts, telekinesis, and water-pistol violence--where television offers redemption, and "the Indian always gets it up the ass." Having escaped the porn factories of Utah, Pidgin heads for Clovis, NM to bury his father, Cline. But the body is stolen at the funeral, and Pidgin must recover it. With the aid of car thief Charlie Ward, he criscrosses a wasted New Mexico, straying through bars, junkyards, and rodeos, evading the cops, and tearing through barriers "Dukestyle." "Charlie Ward slid his thin leather belt from his jeans and held it out the window, whipping the cutlass faster, faster, his dyed black hair unbraiding in the fifty mile per hour wind, and they never stopped for gas." Along the way, Pidgin escapes a giant coyote, survives a showdown with Custer, and encounters the remnants of the Goliard Tribe--a group of radicals to which Cline belonged. Pidgin's search allows him to reconcile the death of his father with five hundred years of colonial myth-making, and will eventually place him in a position to rewrite history. Jones tells his tale in lean, poetic prose. He paints a bleak, fever-burnt west--a land of strip-joints, strip-malls, and all you can eat beef-fed-beef stalls, where the inhabitants speak a raw, disposable lingo. His vision is dark yet frighteningly recognizable. In the tradition of Gerald Vizenor's Griever, The Fast Red Road--A Plainsong blazes a trail through the puppets and mirrors of myth, meeting the unexpected at every turn, and proving that the past--the texture of the road--can and must be changed.
