Synopsis

This is a heap of pieces, probably of a Staffordshire figurine. It is also said to be a statue of a giant, but if so, it must be the smallest giant in the world. A story is told about Mrs. Smithers-Rowbottom who has a magic ubrella which glues things together. This repairs the statue, but the mice dispute its size, so Madeleine sings them a song about comparative sizes.
