The great ape stood imposing without a trace of anger, its mere presence exerting tremendous pressure.
It lowered its head and looked at the tiny person.
Orange Cat wriggled out of Blue Robes Man's arms and stretched out a paw to measure their sizes.
Her little mouth fell open involuntarily.
Then she tucked her head back in.
She seemed frightened.
She muttered, "So much bigger than Fairy."
Two scorching jets of breath spurted from the great ape's enormous nostrils.
"Were you the one who woke me up?"
"Sorry for disturbing you. I'd like to ask you about a place."
Bam!!
Before the other party could finish, the great ape stomped down.
It left an enormous footprint in the snow.
The great ape ground its foot down. "Courting death!"
But a moment later, the voice rang out again.
"We're surrounded by snowy mountains. Please keep your movements a little quieter."
Huh?
The great ape lifted its foot, only to find the man still standing amid a cloud of snow.
Bam, bam, bam!
So it stomped several more times.
Finally, it simply put both feet to work, stamping wildly.
Its movements were both comical and ridiculous.
A long time later, the great ape looked again.
Its eyes widened in disbelief.

The great ape grabbed a nearby boulder and hurled it over.
Another tremendous crash rang out.
The rock shattered on impact, and it looked again.
Yet nothing had changed.
The great ape flew into a rage and swung its fists.
It roared as it hammered away.
Boom, boom-!!
For a time, it seemed as though the heavens were collapsing and the earth was caving in.
Another long while passed.
The great ape panted heavily, its chest heaving.
"What... what did you want to ask?"
It gave up.
