Guess what? I'm stuck on the first sentence! LOL! *hopless*

Here's the sentece:

むかし　むかし　こどもが　いない　おじいさんと　お ばあさんが　かみさまに　おねがいを　すると　こうび くらいの　おとこのこが　うまれました。

The part that I cannot figure out the meaning of is こゆびくらい. little finger + black = ???

If anyone is willing to give their own translation of this sentence so that I can compare it with mine, that would be cool too! XD

I'll be posting any other translation problems with this fairy tail that I might have (probably in the 2nd sentence) here as well, so that I don't spam the forum with my questions!

Thanks ~

Just so you know, there are no spaces in Japanese.
