Yea

We had been roaming for maybe three hours when we came across these giant bones.  At first we thought it was a dinosaur, for none of us could think of another creature which might have been so huge.  Then Melanie pointed out the vegetation.  Great spires of grass rose above us, trees had become distant galaxies, flowers loomed like delicate skyscrapers above our heads.
"It appears we have shrunk," I said.  "These bones could well belong to a mouse, or vole."
"That explains it," said Heinrich.
We carried on, mindless of the future and whistling songs of long ago.  Melanie took point, then me then Heinrich and Chantelle last.  Chantelle was good at making sure we were all still present.  Now and again she called out our names and we responded with a yea or a moo, depending on our mood and the position of the sun.  It was noon, so when Chantelle questioned my existence I let out a moo.  Five minutes later and it would have been a yea.
Yea.
