Tom Thumb!
Tom Thomb legend: The story of Tom Thumb is mainly about a couple who couldn’t have a baby. One day, Merlin, disguised as a beggar, came and asked for shelter. Since the couple was very kind they gave everything the beggar asked for. While watching them, Merlin saw that the couple was not happy with their life. So Merlin asked them why they were not happy and the couple said, “We can’t have a baby. We would be happy with a baby the size of a thumb.” When Merlin got interested in what the couple said, so he granted their wish.
How did the Tom Thumb story start??? The Tom Thumb legend has inspired numerous stories, books, movies, and even comics. But do you know how the legend started? Well, the historians investigated about how it could have started, but they couldn’t find the answer. They have, however, found many possibilities of how it could have started. One of the possibilities was that there was a Little Man who was sold to the circus by his parents for his size. In that time, he got famous by performing in the circus, traveling around America.
