They did not shake hands, but simply raised their left. It does not matter who greeted the Indian woman or the Indian man.
However, if the Indian got to the Giants, he greeted according to the customs of the white-skinned tribe. Therefore, when you have a tribe, you will raise your left hand as a greeting. Showing with this gesture that you have no weapons, and you came to the Indians in peace.
The Giants of Giants appreciate friendly help. By helping them, you are helping Komaria. You will find out about this a little later. Striped beetles crawling over potatoes are Iramoka’s main ally in the early summer. They can be everywhere!
There is one legend. The two Titans planted a huge field of potatoes to feed themselves. When the green leaves of the plants appeared, mosquitoes flew in from somewhere. They hid in the shade of green foliage. As the Titans watered their vegetable garden, the ground was wet. It became a wonderful habitat for Iramoka’s troops. When the first mosquito fell in the battle with the Titan, the formidable Iramok declared war on the great creatures. One of his scouts overheard the conversation between the two Titans.
– «How many potatoes this year! We will winter easily! So, we will survive»! – said one of the contented white-skinned big men.
An inconspicuous fly rubbed its legs and flew away to the potato field.
– «Iramok»! – said the insidious fly, – «I know how to lime these Titans»!
– «How»? – the king of mosquitoes squeaked.
– «We need to summon beetles from America! We will provide them with their favorite potatoes and they will eat them. The Titans will not survive the winter and we can be the rulers of this world»!
The mosquito king liked the idea. He sent his ambassador Krantumok to the Overseas, and ordered him to convey a message to Kuzh from Colorado, so that he sailed here on a ship. After a while, a striped beetle appeared on the potato leaves. He opened a magical portal for his followers. The magic worked very simply. Yellow eggs appeared on the back of the potato leaves. Then small orange bugs emerged from them. Over time, they turned into huge red creatures with black dots on the sides. So, according to the insidious plan of Iramoka and Kuzha from Colorado, they disguised themselves as Ladybirds so that the Titans would not suspect anything. And after a while, a whole army of striped beetles was eating potato leaves. The Titans fought back the plants from these greedy and cunning creatures. The battle lasted for several weeks. It would seem that the wave of Kuzha’s attack from Colorado was thrown back, but a day later, someone gnawed the potato leaves again. And so it all started anew.
The Titans walked around a huge potato field in search of beetles. They did not notice small yellow eggs because of their small size. After all, the Titans were looking for striped creatures. And when they met red beetles with black dots, they thought they were seeing ladybirds.
At first, Iramoka’s cunning plan worked with a bang. The beetles ate the plants. The mosquitoes themselves hid in the shadow of the mighty weeds. From time to time they flew up and quietly bit the Titans.
One of the emaciated white-skinned big men fell right on the bed of potatoes. His friend ran up to him and dragged him into the house. It turned out that Great Manitou does not spare anyone. He doesn’t care if you are a mosquito or a Colorado potato beetle, a Titan or a red-skinned Indian. His Fiery Eye shines equally for everyone. As soon as the Great Manitou squints, any of the creatures will be punished by Sunstroke. One of the Titans wore a headdress in the form of a tied headscarf. So he managed to avoid the formidable wink of the Fiery Eye of the Great Manitou.
While one companion came to his senses, the skin of another Titan was tanned by the sun. The Titan who woke up immediately called his companion red-skinned. The shoulders of the Titan in the kerchief burned, and it hurt him to touch them with his hands. When he sat down on a chair or lay on his back, he cried out in pain. After the skin peeled off, it began to have a distinctive color from the Titan that lay in the house. And so the progenitor of the first red-skinned Indian appeared.

When you fulfill the request of the White Giants, they will definitely thank you. Perhaps it will not manifest itself in words.

– «Hanukkah, answer me. When you went to the places of Komaria, what did you see besides the plants»? – Mamuka asked the lying dog.
– «I saw how birds jump around the garden and crush the necessary plants»!
– «And what did you do»?
– «I chased them and drove them away»! – the dog said proudly.
– «You’re done, but you yourself also crumpled the plants and therefore the giants were not happy, listen to me further», – Mamuka said and, sitting down more comfortably, began to read the book aloud.
In addition to growing plants, Komaria is home to many magical creatures. Ants are one of its inhabitants. Who would have thought that this little insect was magical? If these insects are running near your home, then this is fortunately. This is the ancient omen of the Mamuka Indians. Ants are very strong creatures. Despite their small size, they lift fifty times their weight. Therefore, it is one of the most powerful beings on Earth. I, Mamuka, would never be able to lift fifty myself at a time, another thing is to raise my weight fifty times in a row.
An anthill is the home of ants. They have a real queen. It is easy to distinguish her from an ordinary worker. It has a pair of wings behind it. Sometimes you can confuse the queen with another creature. The male ant also has wings, but it is smaller in size. Ants bite with their mandibles or mandibles. When enlarged, the mandibles look like forceps. When bitten, they close. A forest anthill can reach the height of a giant.
As soon as the sunbeam begins to shine, the ants run out of their home and begin their work on the street. Komaria never fights with these hard workers. They are her allies. As soon as the first drop of rain hits the ground, ants begin to cover the entrances to the anthill. Therefore, near their place in the dwelling, you can find small heaps before the rain. They fill the entrances with them. Ants can also anticipate bad weather, so rain can be predicted. The main thing is not to confuse this with preparing for the night. At sunset, all the inhabitants of the anthill rush to their home. They rest as much as people do. They have a real kingdom, only hidden from prying eyes.
The Indians of Brazil have a whole rite of initiation of boys with the help of this insect. For this, an ant is taken and placed on the hand of the future red-skinned man. Redskins are also Indians, as some giants call them. The purpose of the initiation rite is to increase the immunity to pain. As soon as the ant bites the boy, he must not show that he is hurt. After that, you can take
