Jim walked up to the Smith home. It was 7:30am and his friend should be gone from the house. Reaching out, Jim turned the door handle and let out a sigh of relief when he found the door unlocked. Slowly and as quiet as possible, Jim entered the house. He heard footsteps coming from upstairs so with the skill of a burglar Jim made his way into the kitchen.
In the kitchen Jim found what he was looking for: Mrs. Smith's lunch. On the counter was a sandwich wrapped in plastic wrap, a spoon, and a small carton of banana pudding. Jim didn't know any women besides his mom and his sister, and he didn't have the nerve to ask Mrs. Smith straight out if she would swallow him, so he intended to hide himself in her food so that she would swallow him without even noticing. The trick is how to do it without getting chewed up into little bits. The pudding, he could hide himself in the pudding...
Just then Jim heard footsteps coming down the stairs...he would have to work fast. First he extracted the balloon from his pocket. Then Jim stripped off all of his clothes, dumped them in the trash, and closed the lid. He wanted to be completely naked for this. Hopefully Mrs. Smith would not open the trash can before she went to work. Jim then jumped up onto the counter and quickly blew up the balloon. "Shrink me down to a sixteenth of an inch," he said, and let the balloon out.
The air left the balloon with such force that it flew out of Jim's hand and landed on top of the sugar jar. But that didn't matter now. Almost immediately, Jim began to shrink until he was a sixteenth of an inch tall. Jim thought about it now. He was small. Impossibly small. He couldn't believe his luck.
