In a mystical land, there is a village where the residents, due to an ancient spell, can alter their size from that of an ant to that of an elephant. Amongst these villagers are two friends named Kehinde, who can only shrink, and Leontios, who can only grow. One day, a challenge is presented to them: to retrieve a golden apple placed atop a high shelf inside a wizard's hut. The shelf is too high for any villager at their normal size to reach and too far for a jump from the ground, regardless of their altered size. However, the hut has a peculiar magical property--once inside, the villagers cannot directly communicate with each other, neither through speech nor telepathy, but they can still see each other. Kehinde and Leontios decide to work together, despite their limitations, to retrieve the golden apple. 

Kehinde proposes a plan before entering: They will both start at their normal size, Kehinde will shrink down and climb on top of one of Leontios's shoes. After that, Leontios will grow to the size of an elephant, allowing Kehinde to walk up Leontios like a living mountain until reaching a height where the shelf is accessible. Kehinde then will return to full size and grab the golden apple. 

If they follow the plan correctly, will Kehinde and Leontios be able to retrieve the golden apple without the ability to communicate inside the wizard's hut, and what will be seen by each of them as they enact their plan?
Upon entering the hut, Kehinde and Leontios proceed with their prearranged plan. Kehinde, in his normal size, steps onto Leontios's shoe. There, he shrinks himself down to the size of an ant, becoming a weightless burden for Leontios. Leontios then initiates his part of the plan and begins to grow, careful not to step on the miniature Kehinde. As Leontios expands in size, Kehinde observes his surroundings growing increasingly enormous in his perspective. The textures of Leontios's shoe become a vast terrain, the fibers akin to pillars and the creases like deep valleys.

As Leontios reaches the size of an elephant, Kehinde finds himself standing upon what might as well be a vast plateau. Leontios, now towering over the room, is careful with his movements to prevent disturbing Kehinde. From his elevated standpoint, Leontios can see the top of the shelf which holds the golden apple. It is now at a height relative to his gigantic size that would be easily reachable if not for the miniature size of Kehinde, whom he can barely perceive atop his massive shoe. However, he knows Kehinde must be there per their plan.

Meanwhile, Kehinde starts to cautiously make his way up Leontios, navigating the giant landscape that is Leontios's body. From his reduced size, Kehinde sees the enormous expanse of skin, clothing, and finally encounters what appears like a sheer cliff when reaching the edge of Leontios's clothes. He steadily climbs, finding purchase on the fibers of the fabric, and eventually arrives at Leontios's shoulder.

Having reached a height approximately equal to that of the shelf, Kehinde returns to his normal size. To Leontios, who has been stationary all this time and looking straight ahead at the shelf, it appears as if Kehinde magically pops into existence next to his head. To Kehinde, the world instantly contracts around him; Leontios's gargantuan features shrink down to familiar proportions, and the top of the shelf, with the golden apple now within reach, rapidly draws near.

Kehinde, now at his full size and standing on the shoulder of a still-elephantine Leontios, confidently strides forward to the edge of Leontios's shoulder. With the shelf at an easily accessible distance, he reaches out and secures the golden apple. The plan is successful. Both villagers, holding onto their distinct roles and trusting in the strategy they had devised without any in-hut communication, achieve their goal. Kehinde now holds the apple, a result of creative collaboration working harmoniously with the limitations imposed by their magical gifts and the wizard's hut.
