He was a happily married man, had a loving wife and five children. He used to go to the mountains, cut wood and sell in the city. This is how he earned his living. His mother had been dead for more than five years now. One day while he was in the mountains cutting wood he met a giant woman who had two huge pendulous pneumatic breasts that were thrown back on her shoulders like two big sandbags. When she saw him she said: Oh my son I am your mother, come and live with me. Go and bring your family to the mountains. The wood-cutter hurried back home and told his wife about this odd incident. His wife said: Have you lost your reason? This is nothing but a monster who wants to eat us. Your mother died five years ago. But after meeting the giant woman a second time he was sure she was indeed his mother. He now forced his wife and children to move and live with his mother in the mountains.

The giant woman welcomed him and his wife but kept his children in a separate room. Whenever the wood-cutter’s wife asked for her children she said they were playing happily in the mountains and enjoying the freedom. Six days later she couldn’t wait any more. She left her room secretly to look for her children in other parts of the house. To her horror she found all her children eaten and her husband hanging dead in the kitchen. She fled but the giant woman followed her. Only two mothers survived.
