Race over to add sugar to the water bowl

There’s not much time – the ant is right behind you. You run and jump up onto the edge of the bowl.

“Quick,” Frankie yells, waving the screwdriver at the ant. “Dump the sugar packet.”

You pull the packet open. It’s about the same size as the palm of your hand.

The sugar tumbles into the water as the ant veers away from Frankie. It’s heading toward you, then it flinches back, feelers waving.

A flurry of wind batters you from above. The butterfly lands, its long proboscis unfurling to suck in the sugar water.

The ant slinks closer.

Together, you and Frankie jump onto the fuzzy brown fur on the butterfly’s back. Frankie is wielding the mini-screwdriver to keep the ant at bay.

The butterfly, finally noticing the danger, flinches away from the ant. It rolls its proboscis back up like a curly straw.

Wings unfurl to either side.

You hold on tight. Frankie does to. She can no longer reach the ant as it launches an attack on the butterfly’s flank.

You throw the remains of the sugar bag at it, and the ant ducks away.

There’s a whoosh, a flurry of wings, and you’re in the air. The last you see of the ant is its open jaws. Then you’re flying over the heads of even bigger and more dangerous insects, holding on tighter than ever. It’s like riding a wild bull, or a very rough ocean as you bob up and down with each wingbeat.

You’re just getting used to it when the butterfly takes you through an open door.

“What do we do now?” Frankie asks. “How are we going to get the transmogrifier so we can get back to normal? I don’t want to be this size forever!”

“Forever!”

Somehow, you have to control the butterfly and get the remote back, but all you can do is hold on tight as the butterfly swings around a table.

The Bugman is below. You can tell it’s him, even though he’s so big, because of the huge green mask.

“There he is!” you yell. “He’s racing out that exit with all his giant ants.”

“Quick, help me throw the string around the butterfly,” Frankie yells. “We can make it into reins!”

That sounds a bit mean – the string might hurt the creature.

Do you:

Help Frankie use the string as reins?

Or

Tell Frankie you don’t want to risk hurting the butterfly.
