Yell “ Why are you here?” If the blackhole stays, 2. Use the “BIG And small” machine to make your mouth bigger, taller, wider than the blackhole. 3. Eat that blackhole in one gulp. It will taste like a strawberry. Elizabeth wasn’t listening and playing with BIG And small machine and the other machine they had; “Change you to something else” machine, but it could only change the thing that is touching it.
