A long, long time ago—2,000,000 years ago, to be exact—there was a land where ants were so strong and brave that they ate giants for dinner! Even though the giants were much bigger than the ants, the ants had super wings that let them zoom around the land and catch the giants with ease. Every day, the ants would capture at least one giant and enjoy a giant feast. This made the giants very unhappy.
The giants tried everything they could think of to get rid of the ants. First, they tried to cut off the ants’ wings, but this was not very successful. Anytime a few ants were caught, they squealed so loudly that the other ants came rushing to the rescue!
Next, a the town mad man in town, who liked to collect odd things, gave the giants a mysterious “shrink bomb.” The giants were excited and thought this might be their big chance. But when they threw the bomb into the anthill, it turned out to be just an old toy from a yard sale! The giants felt silly to trust the town mad man and were very disappointed.
However, this mistake gave them a new idea. The giants decided they needed to create their own real shrink bomb. They spent days and nights working on their invention, asking wise folks from faraway places for help. They even used old treasures they found in a magical box called Tube Tube, which showed them videos of famous giant inventors. Inspired, they finally made their own shrink bomb!
The giants chose the perfect day to use their new invention. They aimed carefully and got ready to throw the bomb into the anthill.
But oh no! They didn’t measure right and ended up throwing the bomb far close. Instead of just shrinking the ants only, the bomb shrank everyone in the land!
The once mighty giants became very small—so small that they were no longer giants at all. They were now called humans.
And the ants? They got so tiny that they almost vanished from the land. They also lost their wings.
In the end, the giants and the ants learned an important lesson. The giants discovered that planning and precision were crucial, and the ants learned that, being small has its own challenges!
