He tells about a man named Max who was a giant, "a real monster," and was stuck in a snowstorm trying to get home. The man was "cold and hungry and scared" and thought he was going to die. He saw a small, "little tiny house" with smoke coming out of its chimney. He knocked on the door, and a small old lady answered.
The woman was scared of the giant man, but he reassured her that he only wanted a place to stay warm. He stayed the night and was treated with kindness and warmth. In the morning, the woman had made him a huge breakfast and said he was welcome to stay as long as he needed.
Grim ends the story with this line: "You see, Max was never alone again. He had found a place to belong. And that was the miracle of Christmas Eve."
The significance of the story:
This story is significant because it parallels Max's own journey of finding acceptance and belonging. It's Grim's way of saying that even the biggest, most feared people can find kindness and love, just like Max found acceptance with Freak.
