Then with all his might Tiny Finger shouted over and over again, "Hello, great lord, hello!"
And at last, hearing the weak voice calling, one of the guards noticed Tiny Finger and brought the Lord of the Palace to the doorway.
But what a strange thing -- no one was there! At least the Lord of the Palace thought that no one was there. He did not expect such a tiny visitor.
The thin little voice kept calling, "Hello! Hello! Great Lord of the Palace, I am down here by your feet! "
And when the Lord of the Palace looked down, there stood the smallest boy he had ever seen. Why, he was no longer than a finger!
The great lord bent down and in a soft voice asked of Tiny Finger, "Strange little boy, what do you want?"
Tiny Finger replied, "I am Tiny Finger, and I came here to learn to be as great a soldier as you."
The Lord of the Palace was delighted with this speech and with the bravery of the little visitor. "You shall be a soldier," he said. "Come and meet my young daughter. I think I will make you her personal guard."
So that is how Tiny Finger went to the great Japanese city of Kyoto and how he became the personal guard of the princess of that city.
Life in the castle with the princess was a wonderful experience for Tiny Finger. The princess grew to love her finger-high guard, and she had him accompany her wherever she went.
