Kurzerhand steckt der Riese den Jungen in seine Brusttasche und läuft zu zwei anderen Riesen. Auch die bedrängen den Jungen, das Geheimnis zu verraten. Schließlich flüstert er es dem größten ins Ohr. Der ergreift sofort die Flucht! Als die beiden anderen Riesen das Geheimnis erfahren, flüchten sie ebenfalls. Der Junge ist frei. Er läuft nach Hause, wo ihn seine Mutter ins Bett steckt. Sein Geheimnis? Er bekommt die Masern! Auch in den zwei weiteren Geschichten weiß ein Junge mit Riesen umzugehen, mit Empathie und mit Witz.
