The narrator asks if it was because of the violent aphid. The narrator guesses that the animals they are familiar with have started to change too. He suggests that they call the aphid "the violent aphid" and the mushroom "the little red riding hood". The narrator says that they can't go out to the big road because it's too far, but that if they encounter dogs or cats, they won't have a place to hide. He says that he'll find his way back to the "normal world" as soon as he gets there. He tells the narrator to go ahead and build a bridge. The bridge is strong, he says, and they can ride on it.
