JJ, while enjoying a day of sunshine, gets smothered with one of the pies that falls from the sky.The wonderful butterflies that were in the pie gave JJ a magical flying cape. JJ flies into the sky and frees all the butterflies from the pies. He also eats all the pies that were floating in the sky.Then the giant returns and becomes very upset that the pies he left in the sky are gone. In a loud voice, he wants to know who ate his pies.JJ, instead of remaining silent and flying away, faces the giant, and JJ tells the giant that he freed the butterflies and then ate all the pies. He also told the giant to never again place any butterflies in the pies.To JJ's surprise, the giant simply tells him, "Okay." Then JJ flies away as fast as you can say pies in the sky.
