It was the sort of morning that made you want to lie in.
He was dozing, not wanting to open his eyes or leave his comfortable bed. Although he slowly became aware of the fact that the bed wasn’t really that comfortable. He wriggled around for a while, hoping to get back to sleep, but it didn’t help. When he did open them he found that his nose was nearly touching the ceiling. Looking around he was shocked to find that overnight he had been transformed into a very large hamster!
He had no idea how such a thing could have happened. He went to sleep the night before as normal; no different from any other night. As far as he could tell, he hadn’t had any nightmares or strange dreams. There was just no way of accounting for it.
He managed to roll out of bed and squeeze through the door without making too much noise. He didn’t want others to see him like this. Outside, he hopped across the back lawn and jumped over what was now a very low fence. He wanted to get away from prying eyes and think about his situation.
As he hopped along, he was full of questions. Could it be something that he ate? Whatever could he have done to deserve this? It was a real mystery. Eventually, he found some heavy bushes he could hide in. He didn’t want to be seen until he had figured this thing out. He certainly didn’t want is mother to see him like this. As he crouched there thinking, there was only one thing on his mind.
How could he become a normal sized hamster again?
