Show solutionHide solution

Worked solution

Everything around me looked different. All men and women were so tiny. The appearance of the children was as if they were big dots on the ground. The height of the houses was only one and a half feet high. The dishes which were eaten by these people were two or three inches in diameter. It was a different experience, which I had never faced before. I was surprised to see them. But at the same time, I felt happy that these dwarf people were so kind to me. They helped me a lot to go back home.
