I draw a 10 cm line on a paper and ask you to make it short.
You can not use erazer. You cannot play with the paper too.
can you make it short?
Shouldn't it be "shorter"?
(10 cm is short enough).
cani fold the paper so the line doubles back upon itself?
so when you first look at the paper you see
_____________
once i fold it back on itself, you see
______
Can I write on the paper? In particular, can I use the line as part of a letter and spell the word "short?"

obviously, this is the right answer. *bravo*
Yes markr that is one correct answer
Another one is .... Draw a longer line next to it. You will automatically make it short
I was thinking just back away from the paper and the line will get shorter...
