Catalog Description
-
The giants find a playmater in the puppy, and forget the weariness of work in watching the little creature's fear and fierceness. What esle are giants themselves than puppies, in the eyes of thos larger giants whose glory it is "to have a giant's stregnth," but never "to use is like a giant?"

Three men in worn, beige clothing lounge and rest on a stone floor against a brick wall. A small white and brown puppy plays with a string held by one of the men, creating a relaxed, playful atmosphere.
