"What are you scared of, Ratoncito?"
"I'm afraid of the dark, in case a monster comes and gets me."
"Look around you, Ratoncito. There aren't any monsters in your room. You're just imagining things."
Lately, Ratoncito is very scared. He feels frightened all the time and is afraid of everything. Mamá Ratona is very worried. At night, Ratoncito cannot get a good night's sleep, paralyzed by the fear that a monster will appear and take him away. In summer, although the sun shines bright in the sky and the weather it is very hot, Ratoncito does not swim in the lake because the water and the bugs swimming around in it scare him. However, Mamá Ratona is always by his side, providing him with the understanding and security necessary to overcome all his fears.
