Read the excerpt from The Number Devil.

"By the way, the reverse is true as well," the number devil added.

"The reverse? What do you mean?"

"Simple," said the number devil with a grin. "Just as there are infinitely large numbers, there are infinitely small numbers. And an infinite number of infinitely small numbers." And so saying, he twirled his walking stick like a propeller in Robert's face.

I'm starting to feel dizzy, thought Robert. It was the same feeling he'd had on the slide.

"Stop!" he shouted.

"Why so jittery, Robert?" asked the number devil. "It's perfectly harmless."

What is The Number devil trying to accomplish?
