The Littles

The Little family consists of Mr. Little, Mrs. Little, Granny Little, Uncle Pete, and two children named Tom and Lucy Little. They are a family of small people who inhabit the walls of the Biggs’ family home. The tallest Little, Mr. Little, is only around six inches tall, and all the Littles have long, soft tails. The Biggs do not know the Littles live among them, but the Littles maintain a mutually beneficial relationship between the families. While the Littles take scraps of food and utilize the Biggs’ discarded items, they also help the Biggs maintain the house’s electrical and plumbing fixtures. Mr. Bigg remains flabbergasted that his old house is in better shape than the newer houses down the street.

Granny Little uses an unraveled red sock, stolen from Mr. Bigg, to knit clothes for the family. She doesn’t understand why Mr. Bigg was upset when he couldn’t find the sock, as it had a large hole in the toes. Uncle Pete feels Granny will be working through this yarn for years. Uncle Pete and
