Question

There once was a place  36  all the people were happy and  37 . Everyone was friendly and neighborly. Even the dogs and cats  38  together.

Then one day a stranger was seen  39  toward the village: a tall, tall stranger. As the stranger, who was a giant,  40  closer and closer, the people all ran into their houses and wouldn't come out.

The giant  41  the village. He was enormous, towering over everything.  42  a little girl stepped out on her porch. She jumped down from her porch. Her family yelled, "STOP! COME BACK! That's a giant!" But she didn't stop. She began to walk  43  the giant.

The strangest thing  44  . As the child walked toward the giant, he grew  45  . Soon he was the same size as the girl. As she came beside the giant, she  46  him. She stooped down and gently  47  the giant up in her hands, asking, "What's your name?"

The giant whispered, "My name is F-E-A-R! Help me!! I have a terrible  48  . I guess I look strange. When I meet people they are afraid of me. And when people are afraid of me, I suddenly grow into a giant and everybody runs away from me. YOU are not afraid of me, so I stayed small. Do you  49  it? It's crazy! Please help me!"

"I can take you for a walk through our village," the girl responded. "I want everyone to hear of your problem. When they know the truth, they will no  50  be afraid of you. While we are going from house to house you can look at me  51  , and then you will stay the same size as you are now.

"But  52  we go, let's change your name. What do you want to be called? YOU should not be called FEAR, because YOU are not afraid. It's the people who look at you  53  fear you. That's what causes you to grow into a giant."
