Honey I shrunk the apprentices!

[mrsbrisby]

I think I have this figured out now. Mostly...

[ She added while adjusting the small mouse sized mirror on a stone so it would be propped upright enough to show what she was talking about then she paced over to stand next to a large acorn. ]

Its Wish magic so all I really have to do is wish for it hard enough and I should be able to make this acorn small enough to fit in the palm of my hand.

[ That said she closed her eyes and held out a paw which began to glow as she made her wish. When her eyes fluttered open again she was indeed holding the now much smaller acorn in her paw. ]

It worked! I mean... I-- I thought it would. I've been practicing this a lot lately and...

[ Just spit it out, she told herself with a deep steadying breath. ]

Would anyone out there feel brave enough to volunteer to be shrunk yourself?

Impressive. Are you able to make it big again?

[mrsbrisby]

Make it big again...

[ Her nose twitched. ]

I knew I forgot something. Um... It should just be the wish in reverse, right?

[originaldragoon]

It should. Perhaps you should at least practice that once before shrinking a person first.

[mrsbrisby]

I... probably should have.

[ Unfortunately she had already shrunk one or two people by now. Oops! ]

I could try it on the acorn anyway just to make sure we won't need any help.

[ The tiny acorn in her paw was dropped to the ground as she wished it to grow bigger. And it did! It grew easily back to the normal size of an acorn... then past that... then grew even larger until it would have been quiet easy to see the supersized acorn just by looking out of a window. It grew well over the size of the Main Street buildings. ]

[Rose just happened to look out the window and see the giant acorn outside.]

I think that worked a little too well....

[mrsbrisby]

Aaa!

She gasped in surprise as she looked up... up... up... Trying to actually see the top of the acorn, but of course she couldn't.

Well... I won't have to worry about having enough acorns for acorn stew. I might have trouble finding a pot large enough. What would you do, ask some one to slice it into pieces?

[originaldragoon]

I think that would be even hard to slice for a human considering how big it is.

Perhaps try to wish for it to become its original size as opposed to wishing it bigger?

[mrsbrisby]

[ Mrs. Brisby blinked, looked at the giant acorn and blinked again. ]

Now don't I feel silly. I should have thought to try that first!

[ She closed her eyes and wished for the giant nut to shrink back down to size which it quiet happily did. ]

Thank you, for the suggestion.
