The Gorgels

Melle wakes up in the middle of the night. There is a strange creature sitting on the edge of his bed. It looks like a ball of wool, with arms and legs and two hairy, pointed ears. But when Melle turns on the light, the creature has disappeared. When he talks about it at school, everyone laughs at him. Even Dad, who is a biologist, says it is nonsense that such creatures do not exist. But Melle certainly knows what he saw...
