Soon, evening began to descend.
"Ah well." Jeremiah mused. "Maybe I'll try the fountain again tomorrow."
He went back to his farmhouse for dinner, and then, he went to bed, to get up early for the next day.
He took off his farm clothes, then changed into his pyjamas, got into bed and fell asleep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sun rose over the dairy farm the next day.
Jeremiah awoke with a yawn, and scratched his chest. It was about then he noticed something... peculiar.
When he looked down at himself, he saw his pyjamas were reduced to scraps on his body.
It hit him like a freight train - the fountain had worked after all. He had doubled in size!
"Holy cow!" Jeremiah exclaimed. "I've doubled in size!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After his breakfast and shower, He had to get some clothes on before he could see for himself how big he was.
But like his pyjamas, his clothes were much too small for him.
[He had failed to take into account that the fountain's water had no effect on clothing.]
In fact, None of his clothes fit any more. His shoulders were too wide for the shirts, and his butt too big for the underwear and jeans, causing many a torn seam.
Even his feet were too big for his boots.
"What am I gonna do?" Jeremiah sighed. "I can't go out to work or anywhere. Nothing fits."
Suddenly, he had an idea - he could make some makeshift clothes.
He gathered up his spare bedsheets, some big safety pins, and fashioned a makeshift toga out of his bedsheets, using the pins to fasten his sheets together.
He now has his very own Roman toga.
He fashioned some makeshift shoes out of some old burlap sacks and rope.
He checked out his new clothes in his bedroom mirror, and put on his cap [which now looked smaller]. He looked very strange, but at least he didn't have to go around au natural.
