    Peter was not an ordinary 11-year-old boy. He was taller than most adults and had a booming voice that could make the ground shake. Every day he would go out to play, and every day, the other children would run away in fear.

    Peter didn't understand why the other children were afraid of him. He was just a boy who loved to play and laugh. But every time he tried to join them, they would scatter, leaving him alone on the playground.

    One day, a new girl named Lucy moved into the neighborhood. She was small and quiet, but she had a spark in her eyes that made Peter curious. When he approached her, she didn't run away.

    Lucy was not afraid of Peter. She looked up at him, her eyes wide with curiosity, not fear. She smiled and introduced herself, extending a tiny hand to the giant boy.

    Peter learned to control his strength and his voice. He became more aware of his size and how it could intimidate the others. He learned to play more gently, more quietly.
