Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy who had a big imagination. One day, as he was getting ready for school, he realized he had lost his ruler. He asked his older brother for help and his brother suggested they play a game of hide and seek to find it.

So Timmy closed his eyes and counted to 10 while his brother hid the ruler. When Timmy opened his eyes, he started searching for the ruler. He looked in his backpack, but it wasn't there. He looked in his sweater, but still no ruler. He even looked in his lunchbox, but all he found was a crayon and an eraser.

Just when Timmy was about to give up, his brother called out, "Timmy, look in your pencil!" To Timmy's surprise, when he looked inside his pencil, he found his ruler! It had magically transformed into a miniature size.

From that day on, Timmy always kept a close eye on his ruler and made sure to always keep it inside his pencil. And whenever he used it to measure something, he couldn't help but giggle because it was just the right size for his tiny ruler.

The end.
