Once upon a time, in a faraway place, a white-bearded dwarf lived next to a red-haired giant.
Every so often the giant would
belch a great wind through the land, which lifted his stray hairs into
the air and plastered them all over the dwarf's small hovel. Blaming the
giant for poor hygiene, the dwarf vowed revenge and set about brewing
the hair into a potion, hoping that downing the draught would give him
the giant's great stature.
