"Brother! Brother!" were heard desperate squeals. Mephiles 16 years old hedgehog, got out of bed, and with a heavy sigh, went into the room where he heard the screams.
There in the crib, lay app of shadow, 8 years. Mephiles approached him, and sat on the edge of the crib.
"Why are you shouting?" Asked Mephiles.
"Under my bed lived a terrible monster! He wants to eat me!" –eagerly babbled shadow. Mephiles sighed.
"Shadow. Monsters don't.there." said Mephiles
"There! They are under my bed to Skrabets, I'm afraid! "–protested shadow.
Mephiles rolled his eyes. Arguing with shadow was pointless. Suddenly, in the eyes of shadow, began to show tears.
"I'm so scared!" whined crying about shadow. Mephiles picked up the hedgehog in his arms, and sat her on his lap. Shadow snuggled against his chest.
"The kid... Well, don't cry. I want to lie down with you, to sleep? " asked Mephiles. after these words , a shadow more or less calmed down, and soon squeezed out of himself:
"I want."
"That's good." said Mephiles and gently laid shadow on the bed, and lay down, covering them both with a blanket.
"Sleep..." whispered the shadow Mephiles ear, and kissed shadow on the forehead.
