A tiny creature has a vastly different range of vision from a giant creature
(in general... yes I know there are exceptions on both sides). A flea on
the rabbit that got pulled out of the hat may only know that suddenly it is
light out rather than dark, and a dragon in the next room may not even notice
that those puny mortals are doing much of anything. What you see is entirely
a matter of scale.

I disagree. :)

Thanks. :)
