Who's Max? And what makes him special?

           Deep in the forest, well hidden and sheltered from prying eyes lied a small village. Here's where the Tiny people were living.
           The appearance of a Tiny people was very similar to that of the large people from today, with two arms and legs, one head, ten fingers and toes. Some of them grew beards, like walruses, others looked just like you and me. But, and that made them special, they were a lot smaller.
           Now, you may think 'What's so special about being tiny? Giants are way more amazing!'. But you just wait. You'll be surprised by all the things tiny people can do better than giants.

This is how their village looked like (there were of course more than three mushroom houses) :

            One of the tiny people was called Max. He was the tiniest in the village. In fact, he was so tiny, that he could effortlessly climb into a yew cone or bath in a drop of morning dew - even the other tiny villagers made fun of him.

           Then he was told: 'Hey Max, how's the air down there?' or 'Oi, do you need help to reach for the highest shelves again?'. But Max just shrugged briefly and let the villagers have that little pleasure. He knew, they didn't mean to harm him.

           From his position in the yew cone Max observed the birds in the sky everyday. Then he dreamed of flying and traveling the world.
