The Size Key

Faced with war news from Europe, Dona Benta is apprehensive about the future of humanity. Everyone on the farm feels powerless, except Emilia, who always finds a way to solve the worst problems. Ever? Well, this time she decides to turn off the war key, but she fumbles and ends up lowering the size key. People are reduced to a few centimeters in height, no bigger than insects. In this adventure, Lobato portrays the insignificance of man in the face of nature and forces him to adapt to a new reality, in which money and power are worth nothing. "Either I end the war, and those hatreds that spoil life, or I end the human species," says the little doll knowingly in her attempt to save the world.
