Lisa was curious about absolutely everything. She observed everything new that entered her life and noticed every detail. However, this curiosity soon became a big problem. Alla was preparing a celebration for her daughter’s 5th birthday. Friends and family were coming, including children from the kindergarten.
The only issue was where to hide the birthday present. After all, the young detective (referring to Lisa) could find anything in the house in just a few minutes. Unexpected help came from the neighbor’s children. They loved telling each other scary stories. So, one day, when Alla brought Lisa home, she sat down on the couch and began a story:
“All right, darling, don’t open the closet today, okay?”
Liza asked, “Why not?”
“Because is in there.”
“Babayko? Who’s that? Is he a bad person?”
“Oh, yes, a very bad person.”
“Will he come out of there?”
“No, he’ll sleep in there tonight and then leave. Just be careful not to wake him up.”
Alla spent the whole evening watching as wandered around the bedroom. On one hand, it was crucial to protect her daughter, but on the other hand, it was incredibly fascinating. At some point, something in the closet fell. ran to her mother and hugged her.
“Mom, I didn’t wake him up!”
“I know, my dear. He probably just dropped a hanger. Don’t worry; I’ll protect you.”
Later that evening, when her husband returned from work, the family gathered at the dinner table. While was struggling to chew her cutlet, she suddenly asked her mother, “Has the uncle come out of the closet yet?” Alla didn’t know how to react to this situation—whether to scold or to laugh. She replied, “No, only in the morning.”
then went to wash her hands in the bathroom. Making sure her daughter couldn’t hear, Alla turned to her husband and said, “I hid her birthday present in the closet. To prevent her from going in, I told her there’s a bad uncle sitting there.”
Her husband could barely contain his laughter. He never could have come up with such a creative idea. Thankfully, Alla didn’t delay in explaining further, as anything could have happened!
