One day a rather unpleasant giant called Mouldylocks decides it is time for him to find a good wife. He comes across three cottages inhabited by three Clares - Great Big Clare, Tiny Wee Clare and Medium-sized Clare. He puts each of them to the test in turn. He discards Big Clare and Little Clare, but decides that Medium-sized Clare is just right. There's a twist in the tale, though, when Medium-sized Clare decides that Mouldylocks is not at all right for her.
