As they moved with their parents to their new house, a sister and a brother found a silkworm inside a garden shed. The silkworm was trapped inside a pendant of a necklace with a note: “Read this saying in a single breath to become small and set free the silkworm by blowing through the hole on the backside of the pendant!”
So they did, but nothing happened. The children didn’t become small. They promised the silkworm to come and try again the next day and went to eat their dinner and to sleep. The next morning they woke up — the a size of a pea!
They’d read the saying the right way, only the results had a slight delay! They needed to find a way to reach the garden shed. In spite of their great desire to help the silkworm, they wanted a chance to grow back again, because the note also included this: “When you complete the task, return to the place where you became little, so you could grow back again.”
The children felt scared of being so little, considering how everything else around them seemed huge. Regardless, they were coping with their fears together, encouraging one another and becoming more reliable on each other.
Believing in their task of helping the silkworm gave them the courage for a 3-day journey across the garden, where they met lots of animals that helped them at their most difficult moments.
