Big Hasuni, who lives atop a mountain, sees smoke coming from a nearly island; he investigates and discovers a campsite. Meanwhile, island-dweller Big Hanna investigates the smoke coming from the mountain. This tale of two lonely giants who find happiness with each other is efficiently told, spiked with funny expressions ("Sour lemongrass!"), and accompanied by appropriately exaggerated illustrations.
