The Dancing Half-Giant - A Dark Sun Fable

At a great celebration, in honor of Hamanu, The Lion if Urik, a beautiful half-elf was asked to dance for the gathered nobles and templars. Her dancing was superb and everyone was impressed with her grace and agility. Everyone clapped and cheered as she danced.
The praise that was showered on the woman made a half-giant guard envious. He was very sure that he could dance just as well as the half-elf woman, if not better. So, he pushed his way into the crowd, that was gathered around the woman, and rising on his left foot, began to dance. But the big hulking brute looked ridiculous as he clumsily stumbled around the dance floor. He crashed into the crowd and stomped on several toes.
When at last, one of his huge feet came within an inch of the King's own toes, Hamanu raised a hand. The dancing stopped immediately and all eyes turned to the half-giant and the displeased look on the King's face. King Hamanu stared at the offending half-giant and the half-giant began begging for his life.
The crowd gasped as the half-giant's eyes rolled to the back of his head and he collapsed to the ground, dead. The other half-giant guards dragged the body of their former comrade away and the celebration continued.
