To rub it in, he decides to drive out to his home and pretend to reconsider just to say no again. The scientist is out but he finds the serum on a table. Just then, lightning crashes through the window and supplies the missing electricity to activate the serum. When the man awakens, he sees a mound in front of him that he must climb in order to get a look around. When he gets to the top, a little boy uses his finger to push the now tiny man back down to the bottom, thinking him to be an ant. |
