There is a world peopled solely by dwarfs. We can call it
Dwarfworld. The strange thing is they don’t call it that. On our world of
average-sized humans, those of shorter stature and different appearance (e.g.
large heads and small arms) are named dwarves and those whose arms and so forth
are in proportion are called midgets. On this other planet there are
individuals smaller than the average. What the humanoids on that planet call
these smaller ones, I don’t know? In our Universe, it can be readily seen that
stars and other cosmic bodies differ in size; so it is with sentient beings.
Perhaps only on Earth are the smaller things deemed lesser; although it is a
most ugly untruth.
Definitions (Earth Dictionary):
dwarf: an abnormally undersized person; pl. dwarfs or
dwarves
midget: a dwarf whose skeleton and features are of normal
proportions
