A fictional story of how sometimes being small has its advantage.

Once upon a time in a planet far away, there was a girl name “Tiny”.   She was given that name due to her size.  She was very much smaller than anyone on the planet.  Her parents abandoned her when she was very young.

Luckily, a very old couple adopted her and brought her up.

One day a giant landed on the planet.  It was a very greedy giant.  As soon as it landed, it started to attack and steal any treasure it could find.  Everybody was scared because all their attack was useless.  So they hid themselves from the sight.

Only one person did not hide, Tiny.  She knew that she was small enough that the giant could not see her.  She snuck into the spaceship of the giant and started looking around. 

She went through and noticed huge vents and wiring in the ship and started work on plugging up the vents and cutting the wires.  It was a huge ship so it took her a very long time to do it.

It was a good thing that the giant was greedy because he continued going around collecting treasures.  Even after Tiny finished sabotaging the ship and returned to the planet, the giant was not back yet.

Much later, the giant returned to his ship with his plunder and started taking off.  After the ship lifted up for a distance, it blew up and all the treasure fell back to the planet together with the debris from the ship. 

Tiny had saved their treasure and also the threat of the giant.  It goes to show that size does matter but in this case the smaller the better.
