The bird missed.
Colin and Paul ran back under the deck, sure that they were safe. Especially since they knew the bird couldn’t follow them under the deck.
The tiny Paul and Colin sat down near the deck support pole, to catch their breath.
“What are we gonna do?” Paul said. “We can’t keep hiding from Birdzilla forever!”
“and we can’t be this small forever!” Colin added. “Maybe there’s another way.”
All of a sudden, they heard a voice from under the deck with them. To Paul, the voice sounded familiar.
Suddenly, someone else came into view.
Colin and Paul looked, and almost immediately, Paul realised who it was.
The person was revealed to be Barry Chundle, Paul's younger brother, who was 10 years younger than Paul, and he had black brown hair, a short moustache, and hazel eyes.
And, like Paul and Colin before them, he wasn’t wearing any clothes.
"Barry?!" Paul exclaimed. "You shrunk too!"
"Yes I did." Barry said. "I went outside looking for you after you disappeared, and then I saw what seemed to be our neighbour Colin Copford shrinking, and then, before I knew it, I felt dizzy, and then, i awoke up in my own clothes, at this size, as how you see me now."
“We shrunk too.” Colin told Barry.
"That’s right. We're all half an inch tall, now." Paul said. “We’re the three smallest men in the world.”
"So," Barry said, "what do we do?"
The tiny naked men wondered what to do to spend their time as the 3 smallest men in the world.
