Jonathan realized that he'd gained the power to change his size.
And he realized what made them work - the words 'shrink' and 'grow'.
He thought to when he shrunk whilst watching tv.
"When I said 'shrink', i shrunk!" he said, immediately shrinking 1 foot shorter.
"And when i said 'grow', i grew!" he added, immediately growing back the 1 foot in height.
"Let my try it out a bit more." he said to himself. He took off his lab coat, stood in the middle of the floor, and said proudly, "Shrink, shrink, shrink."
Jonathan shrunk, first 5 inches, then 3 inches, then 2 feet, right down to approximately an estimate of about half his size. Again, his pants fell down, including his undies.
"Grow, grow, grow." Jonathan said proudly.
Immediately, he grew back to normal size. he got his pants and undies back on.
One drawback to his new powers was that he had no control of how much in height or size he would shrink and grow when he said 'shrink' or 'grow'.
"If I can change my body size," Jonathan thought, "could i change the size of objects, or other people?"
there was only 1 way to find out.
he grabbed his chair, and said, 'Shrink."
Immediately, his chair shrunk to 1 inch tall.
"It works!" Jonathan said, "I can change the size of objects!"
"Grow!" Jonathan said, holding his chair, and his chair immediately grew back to normal size.
Now that Jonathan could change the size of himself, and objects, now was the time to see if he could change the size of other people.
