Wasn't that fun. Back to Project Gutenberg for this puzzle. I searched Fairy Tales and found The Starlight Wonder Book by Henry Beston. A young man is rewarded with a wand that can make things very large or very small. Rather like the puzzle text.
Once upon a time, during a great battle which was fought through the night in a tempest of lightning and rain, a brave young grenadier came upon one of the enemy lying sorely wounded on the field. Taking pity upon his foeman, the soldier bound up his wounds and carried him from the battle to the shelter of a little wood. Scarce had the wounded youth opened his eyes, when amid a blinding flash of lightning and a peal of tumbling thunder, a green chariot drawn by green dragons rushed downward through the hurrying clouds and sank to earth at the soldier’s side.
