From a mud skipper's point of view....
I'm lying under my big mound of mud, waiting for those giants outside to hurry up with their business. I drill out a small hole in my mound of mud and pear through, only to see 5-6 giants walking around this certain area, mumbling gibberish to each other "blah blahby blah" is what I hear from them. "I wonder if this is how they communicate with others" I thought. I carefully slither out of my mud mound dragging along my long tale with me, and hop towards the nearest plant I can put my eyes on. "Just 1 hop at a time.....Just 1 hop at a time..Just 1 h.." I repeatedly whisper to myself, hopefully those giants won't get a visual of me. I steadily crawl pass the giant elongated cuboids that towered above me, as I do that, I take a second to see what exactly these towers are. I study 1 tower and then another, and another, "ooohhh, these are Mangroves in progress of growing" I say.
I make a quick check on whether the giants are following me, or whether they have spotted me. "Phew, i'm still invincible to their line of sight" I thought. I see 1 giant just a few kilometers away, he seems to be angrily stabbing at the mud, "grrrrrr, he's destroying our homes! Wait a minute....is that.....a Mangrove sapling?!" I said, I carefully move towards him, slowly and steadily, hopefully he won't see me. I study every action he makes; the giant delicately places the sapling into the big hole that he must've been stabbing at, "ooooooh, the giants are planting Mangrove trees" I thought. I turn around and hop back to the muddy area of where I once were, until I stop dead in my tracks, I turn to my right and I see 3 giants just a few hundred meter away from me. I notice that they're foots are stuck in the mud. "Oh no" "If those giants spot me, i'm a goner!" I said quietly, I try best to act camoflauge, so that the Giants won't spot me. I see 1 of them look at me "I'm Dead!" I say loudly.
1 of the giants say something "May muys, ckook! yits ay dudstipper" Is what I THINK they are saying. One of them tries to grab me; and in the process, trips over a mound of mud. A flock of fiddler crabs scurry out of the mounds shouting "Repent! the end is near" says 1, Another says "Every crab for themselves". What have these giants done? I start hopping away from the disastrous area, "Better safe then sorry" I thought, I try to avoid every possible way of the giants ever getting me. Next thing I know, giant clumps of mud are falling through the air, "arrrrrrgh!" I say as a huge clump lands right beside me, flattening a group of fiddler crabs. "Oh the horror!" I say, as I continue to hop my way through this horrifying battlefield. I'm just a few meters from shelter, 'I'm about to make it!" I thought, but then, a huge clump of mud lands on top of me.
P.S I bet you can't guess what "May muys, ckook! yits ay dudstipper" means!
