Description
In this fairy tale, it takes a village to figure out the height of a friendly giant. The townspeople's earnest, yet humorous, attempts to gauge just how big Milton is convey the importance of standard units of measurement. The story even accounts for the real-life origin of such funny-sounding units as feet.
