The Claustrophobic Tale

There was a girl. And her mom was a coward and feared to sleep alone. Therefore when dad left for business trips, mom rang to his friends and asked them to come to have a sleep with her. Because she was such a coward. But dad was angry with her for that and asked her to stop doing like that. Because his friends have their families and they too can be afraid. And so he was feeling confused with his friends because of that. But he could do nothing about her.

So the girl decided to teach mom to break her fear, and to become daring. Because she was hurt seing dad and mom upset with each other, and wished they did not quarrel. And mom also strongly feared cockroaches.

So the girl caught a cockroach and when dad again for his business trip left, she put the cocroach to mom and dad's friend into their bed, when they were sleeping. But the cockroach had a short walk around the bed and left and they did not make any note of him. Next time she decided to put two cockroaches. And thus she made. But they again noted nothing. Then girl caught three cockroaches, two big, and one still very small. And she put them all to mom's bed.

Two big cockroaches had a little walk around and away. But small cockroach understood nothing, but lost himself in daddy's friend hair. And there he found an ear. It was large for him like a white trampolin around a tunnel. And he wondered what is there at the end of the tunnel? And so he broke into a run. He run a little, but there it was dark, nothing visible. So he became terrified and decided to turn back. But it was tight there, even for the small cockroach. So he got entirely frightened thinking there is no way to go and his claustrophobia began from that. And so he began beating himself with the walls hysterically and he could do nothing about himself. And then he decided to gnaw some way to somewhere.

And than daddy's friend woke up. But daddy's friend had a bass. That is the most terrible voice of what men can get. And mom frightened from that voice and she awoke and yelled too, first until she got hoarse. Then she stopped shouting and silently sent dad's friend to his home. And than she got no longer afraid of sleeping alone, but on a contrary, she feared to sleep with dad's friends, as they all had the male voices. And dad became happy with that and did not argue with mom anymore.
