Seeing how uncertain I was what to do, my boss had another suggestion.
"How about the following. There is a pill to restore you to your normal self. But you could first take a potion that could adjust your mind to your body for some time, making you think you are really as young as you look. You could enjoy being a kid or a teen for the week we are here without the responsibilities of your normal age. They have a lot of activities for people who want to do so. The potion wears off after three days and you could either return to normal then or take a second dose for another three days. I could act as your father for you in that time. What do you think?"
"That would be interessting. You think I could just enjoy being a kid again to relax more?"
"Yes, that is what I thought. Relax as a kid and let me take the responsibility for the time. Itīs your decicion if you want. You can also say if you think going a bit younger would help you more."
After thinking for a minute I accepted his offer. "But if I can I would like to be only five for the time. Maybe then my head isnīt to filled with school and learning."
"Okay, than letīs make you around five. Wait here and I will get the potion and the pill for you to stay young until you get the other one. Afterwards we can return into the mud tube so you can reach your wished age and then take the potion. Thatīs okay for you?"
"Yes." I answered. So he moved to get the potion and the pill for me, returning after about ten minutes, showing me the flask and the bottle containing some pills. "I got the pills for both of us and the counter ones. So letīs move in then."
So we got in again. He let me lay in the mud for some time and I didnīt look how young I was getting, believing he would get me out in the right time to being five.
