They advance quickly, IIRC, through generations, and I seem to recall
that they attempt to use their new technologies to save the man. It
may have occured over a period of human years.
Ring any bells? A short story.
Was there another spaceman in the story? A bad guy who left our guy to
die? Does our guy, after he's been revived and enhanced by his little
friends, pay a visit to his old buddy?
No. He dies and then when more humans arrived, they're stunned to see
the gigantic monument to him that the little guys have built. It's
lifesized and considering the aliens are ant-sized...
