You leave your bungalow for the short walk to the beach. Boy, this really is paradise you think to yourself as you make your way through the forest and down the path to the beach.
As you round a corner in the path you come upon two people, a regular sized woman with a man about three feet tall. They are waking in front of you and you quickly overtake them to due the small stature of the male half of the couple.
As you pass them you wish them a good day and think to yourself how odd it is that a man and woman of such different sizes should be together. And then you remember where you are. A small chill runs down your spine.
You get to the beach and it is not crowded at all. Paradise found. You take a lounge about 10 feet away from a beautiful woman who appears to be all alone. After a while you try to strike up a conversation with her. Things go well for about five minutes when she mentions her husband. Oh well, you think, until she produces an eight inch tall man in a small cage. The man, incarcerated in the cage, had been on the beach on the far side of her lounge. When she sees your obvious reaction she keeps talking.
"He was bad last night and now he is being punished." You look at the man in the cage, blown away at the sight of this tiny, little, yet human creature. "First day on the island" she says. You nod your head as she gets up to leave.
"Janet Malone" she says, sticking out her hand to single that she and her husband are leaving. "Wave good-bye Bill" she commands the man in the cage and he weakly complies. She smiles and they are gone. You lay back on your lounge, your mind a blank as you stammer for a thought.
