There are giant bees, you know. They sound like buzzsaws and whenever someone hears one they run into their homes because they never know what bees will do, except looking for giant flowers.

There are giant flowers, of course, otherwise there wouldn’t be giant bees!

There are other strange creatures too, but none of them giant, for some reason. Scholars think the bees and the flowers were the only species that survived the Giants Period.

There’s this tree that’s called the Waving Willow: it’s a tree that has leaves that look like hands, and when the wind touches it (oh so lightly), the leaves start rattling, making it look like the tree is waving at you, beckoning you forward.

Some fairy tales say that the trees are born from kind spirits who warn travellers not to come closer, and when the danger is gone, the tree goes away. Others say the tree lures you (mostly unsuspecting travellers that have never seen the tree before) to something dreadful, to a swamp where you’ll drown or get eaten by some wild beast or some such.

I don’t know why anyone would approach a tree thinking it was beckoning them to begin with but I suppose the stories were concocted a long time ago and people thought differently back then. Whether it happened or not, there’s nothing good or dangerous under the Waving Willow trees anymore, it’s simply a funny looking tree, waving you good morning or afternoon or whatever time of the day you happen to see it.
