Millipede was the obvious ruler of the garden. He was the TALLEST and the LONGEST bug around.It seemed only fitting that he should have the LONGEST and TALLEST vegetable in the garden as his home.Rutabagas were his favourite, but which one in the garden was the BIGGEST?It was confusing.
You see, Millipede's measurements were ALWAYS changing, because the instant he felt the slightest TICKLE... his shape would change.So he didn't know if the rutabaga was ONE or TWO Millipedes tall OR long.A ruler needed to know for sure... but how could he figure it out?He needed help.
