the tiny naked Colin Copford Decided to hide under his deck.
He darted under the gap of the deck, which was just small enough for him to squeeze through. He was very relieved, even more so when he realised that the bird was unable to follow him.
“That was close.” Colin said.
All of the sudden, to his shock, he heard a voice UNDER the deck! And it called his name! The voice was familiar.
Colin turns back, and there he saw the speaker - it was his neighbor, Paul Chundle, a 48 year old man with greying black hair, a moustache, and brown eyes.
And, like Colin, he wasn’t wearing any clothes.
“Paul??” cried Colin. “Oh my God! You’ve shrunk to my size, too!! But how?”
“Well…” Paul began, sheepishly, “Approximately 1 hour before you came home, I was lying on my deckchair, having a snooze, and then, the next thing I knew, I was shrinking like a deflated balloon! I shrunk right outta my clothes, and I woke up to see the grass blades as tall as trees, and I was naked as how you see me now.”
Paul sat down near a deck post, and wriggled his toes.
Colin sat next to him. “I know.” He said. “I shrunk right outta my clothes as well.” He motioned to the deckchair they could see through the small gaps between the wood on the deck, and Paul could see Colin’s empty clothes on it.
“Do you know what this means?” Paul asked Colin.
“That we are now the two smallest men in the world?” Colin asked.
“Yup.” Paul said, “so we should try to make the best of it.”
The tiny naked men wondered what to do to spend their time as the two smallest men in the world.
