Knock! Knock!
"Who is there?" I
ask sleepily.
"It is me," a shrill
voice says.
"Who is 'me'?" I
ask.
"I told you, it is o-n-
l-y m-e," the same
voice says.
"I don't know
anyone called, 'o-n-
l-y m-e'," I reply. I
check that my
mosquito net is
tucked in around
my bed.
"Well, my name is
Amos." The voice
sounds more shrill
than before. It is
very close to my
ear.
"Amos who?" I ask
as I look under the
net.
"Amos Quito," the
voice finally says. I
feel a bite on my
ear.
"Ouch!" I jump up
and begin to
search. "You will
pay for this!" I
shout.
Angrily, I get out of
bed and switch on
the light.
I declare war on
the annoying Amos
Quito!
