My folktale "Brabo and the Giant" is more of a Trickster Folktale. It's about a giant that gets outsmarted by an average man and some villagers. Antigonus the giant is not very smart at all, and is more muscle then brain. He doesn't think anything through, but Brabo is very smart and brave.
In my new story it transitions to the Fairytale category. I added mythical creatures and a lot of mythical themes related to the time period. It really takes away the part of outsmarting someone larger or of that concept. It really makes a difference because there isn't any giants in Brazilian mythology.
