00:30Do you want to kill it?
00:32You get a vitamin poisoning.
00:35We want marshmallows.
00:37But kids, that's not for you. You want to be big and strong.
00:42Oh, no.
00:43No, no.
00:44We prefer to be small and weak.
00:46Prefer small and weak than big and strong?
00:50Exactly.
00:51Prefer small and marshmallows.
00:53Than big and nasty.
00:54Yes, that's what I thought when I was little.
00:58You were small, Grandpa?
01:00Smaller than now?
01:01As small as us?
01:03As small as you? Ha! Ridiculous!
01:06I wasn't just small, I was tiny.
01:08Tiny, tiny.
01:10At the Klabautermann I was really tiny.
01:13So tiny that my parents could only look at me under a magnifying glass.
01:18And they had to tickle me with tweezers.
01:21Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:24My running style was made up of broken wood and thread.
01:32And I was bathed in a finger hat.
01:35When my parents went for a walk with me,
01:38they had to wait half an hour for me to be 10 centimeters tall.
01:43And my only friend at the time was a little worm.
01:47And even that was bigger than me.
01:50That's because I didn't eat anything other than marshmallows.
01:55That makes you small and weak.
01:58With one marshmallow I got through a week.
02:03That's how small I was.
02:06That's what I call small.
02:08But then, are you sure?
02:10You got bigger and bigger, didn't you?
02:12No, I didn't.
02:13That was the mishap.
02:15I got smaller and smaller.
02:17Smaller and smaller?
02:19Yes, I shrunk, so to speak.
02:22The older I got, the more I shrunk.
02:26No wonder with all the marshmallows.
02:29At first I found it quite funny
02:32how I got smaller and smaller and things got bigger and bigger.
02:37But when my friend had almost eaten the little worm,
02:42I got a little sluggish.
02:45But there was nothing I could do about it.
02:48I shrunk further.
02:50Soon I was so small
02:52that even the smallest grains of sand appeared to me
02:56like huge blocks of rock.
02:59Ouch!
03:02Ouch!
03:06Of course, my parents tried everything to get me big again,
03:10to find any means with which I would grow again.
03:14They mixed peas with carrots
03:17and spinach with peas
03:20and spinach, peas and carrots
03:23until they finally found it.
03:28Spinach, peas, peas, carrots, vegetables.
03:32The miracle remedy.
03:35That's what I got to eat.
03:38That was something else than just marshmallows.
03:41And poof, the devil,
03:43I actually started to grow again.
03:48And grew and grew and grew and grew.
03:58Until one day I was the big, strong guy I still am today.
04:07All thanks to spinach, peas, peas, carrots, vegetables.
04:11Yes, hey, hey, where are you? Hello!
04:15We shrunk.
04:16We shrunk so small.
04:18Because we ate so many marshmallows.
04:21Oh, my goodness.
04:23Lunchtime, brothers.
04:24Lunchtime.
04:25Lunchtime.
04:27Don't move, kids.
04:29Your grandpa will find you.
04:32Oh, you poor little ones.
04:34Hello, kids.
