Handkerchiefs 3

Tom's companions, though well fed by the darkness and safe, did not stop worrying about him. They were worried because of him. They had always known that Tom wanted to get out of there, but they had never thought he would dare. Now they were trying to imagine what might have happened to him. They did not know how he was going to feed and whether he would know how to defend himself from all the dangers lurking outside.

Tom was experiencing the first reactions to the sun's rays. He had tried to find places where there was darkness to feed himself, but his new state was beginning to change his body's metabolism. He needed dark less, and the light was beginning to provide him with some energy. That's what he was thinking about when he suddenly found the nose of a huge cat looking at him with inquisitive eyes. Tom's small size amused the cat who tried to hit him with its front paw. Tom's scare was huge and triggered his first transformation. In an instant he began to grow and grow, so that now it was the cat that had derisory dimensions compared to his height. And it was the cat that came out terrified. Once the scare was over, Tom returned to his normal dimensions and breathed a sigh of relief.

Pañuelos 3

Los compañeros de Tom, aunque bien alimentados por la oscuridad y a salvo, no dejaban de preocuparse por él. El ánimo estaba por los suelos. Siempre habían sabido que Tom quería salir de allí, pero nunca habían pensado que se atreviera a hacerlo. Ahora trataban de imaginar lo que le podría haber ocurrido. No sabían cómo iba a alimentase y si se sabría defender de todos los peligros que acechaban en el exterior.

Tom estaba experimentando las primeras reacciones a los rayos solares. Había procurado encontrar lugares en los que hubiera oscuridad para alimentarse, pero su nuevo estado estaba empezando a cambiar el metabolismo de su cuerpo. Necesitaba menos estas a oscuras y la luz le estaba empezando a proporcionar cierta energía. En eso estaba pensando cuando de repente se encontró con la nariz de un inmenso gato que le miraba con ojos inquisitivos. El pequeño tamaño de Tom divertía al gato que intentó golpearle con su pata delantera. El susto de Tom fue mayúsculo y desencadenó su primera transformación. En un instante empezó a crecer y crecer, de forma que ahora era el gato el que tenía unas dimensiones irrisorias comparadas con su estatura. Y fue el gato el que salió despavorido. Una vez pasado el susto, Tom volvió a recuperar sus dimensiones normales y respiró con alivio.
