Firstly, the boy finds Arietty and her family unusual because they are tiny people living under the floorboards of the house. Secondly, he finds out that they are known as the “Borrowers” for they survive by borrowing from the people of the house. As he continues to be enthralled by the Borrowers, his family begins to notice that he is, in fact, behaving in the most peculiar manner. Worse still, small items in the house go missing. One day, the aunt stays up to catch the thief when she notices the boy giving household items to the Borrowers. She goes berserk on finding out that they live under her floorboards. She decides to send the boy back home and then to smoke the tiny family out. Will they escape the terrible fate? Read and find out!
