[00:02.07]If I Was Tiny|[00:04.06] Imagine what life would be like|[00:05.99] if you were two inches tall.|[00:07.55] You would have to be careful|[00:09.10] that nobody stepped on you.|[00:11.03] You would have to watch out for cats, dogs and birds.|[00:14.95] It would be very dangerous,|[00:16.25] but just think of the things that you could do.|[00:19.43] You could live in dollhouse, or even a shoebox.|[00:22.60] You could use a bottle cap for a plate.|[00:25.65] You would have to wear dolls' clothes.|[00:28.26] A stamp would make a lovely picture to hang on your wall.|[00:32.12] You could hide in a mouse hole or a drawer.|[00:35.29] You wouldn't need much food.|[00:36.97] You could probably live comfortably on the crumbs|[00:39.64] that people would leave on the table.|[00:41.76] A thimble would make a good cup.|[00:43.81] If you went outside, the grass would seem like a jungle.|[00:47.79] An insect would be huge and frightening.|[00:50.53] A puddle would seem to be an ocean.|[00:53.14] You could cross the puddle in a paper cup|[00:55.44] and use a spoon for an oar.|[00:57.81] A matchbox would make a good bed|[01:00.30] with a handkerchief as a bedspread.|[01:02.47] You'd brush your hair with a toothbrush,|[01:04.84] but you'd never find anything small enough|[01:06.58] to brush your teeth with.|[01:08.69] You could take a ride on the back of a mouse.|[01:11.37] You wouldn't find any books that were small enough to read,|[01:14.60] but you might read the back of a pill bottle.|[01:17.65] You could ride in a toy car|[01:20.02] and have a soup bowl for a swimming pool.|[01:22.82] A leaf could be your umbrella,|[01:24.49] and a mitten would make a great sleeping bag.|[01:27.36] If you used your imagination,|[01:29.04] you could think up something|[01:30.71] to use for almost all your purposes.|[01:33.20] Being small might be fun, but then again,|[01:35.69] it would be frightening.|[01:37.12] I'd be afraid of my pet cat.|[01:38.93] I wouldn't want a book to fall on me.|[01:41.04] I would be afraid of being swept away by a big gust of wind.|[01:44.72] I think I'd rather be my size.
