The Trids had for many decades been subject to the cruelties of tyrranical giant who lived on the mountain at the center of the island. The rabbi, of a people long proud for their resistance to tyrants, took it upon himself to not only teach the Trids about God but also to organize the Trid fighting men into well-disciplined companies. After many months of preparation, the rabbi led the Trids to the mountain. The various Trid companies surrounded the mountain. On the rabbi's order, the first company charged to engage the giant in battle.But the giant simply swept one huge foot through the Trid's ranks and killed them all. Undaunted, the rabbi sent two companies of Trids into the battle, but again the giant simply booted them away, killing them all in the process. Now growing desperate, the rabbi ordered the remaining three companies into battle. Again the giant killed them all with his mighty feet.Furious and sick at the loss of life, the rabbi stomped up the mountain. He stood before the giant, threw down his spear, and yelled:"Hear me, you evil giant! You've killed my army! Now kill me! Kick me down this damnable mountain!"To which the giant replied: "Silly rabbi, kicks are for Trids."*ba-dum-ching!*</blockquote>
