Melle wakes up in the middle of the night. There's a strange creature sitting on the edge of his bed. It looks like a ball of wool, with little arms and legs and two furry, pointed ears. But when Melle turns on the light, the creature has vanished. When he tells his classmates about it, everyone laughs at him. Even Dad, who is a biologist, says it's nonsense, that such creatures don't exist. But Melle is sure of what he saw...
