Once upon a time, a bobcat was trying to sleep.
He had tried counting sheep, but when he realized that all he could think about was eating the sheep, he got up for a snack.
Now, this bobcat did not keep the tidiest of dens, and although he tried to remember to keep his refrigerator closed, and his various throw pillows away from lamps, it didn’t always happen.
Which is how he ended up eating the borgle.
It crunched and went down smoothly, so he didn’t even notice anything was wrong until he woke up the next day with the worst stomach ache he had ever had. He tried to throw up, and to soothe his stomach with dry toast and tea, but nothing worked.
Finally, he opened his refrigerator and took a long look inside. What had he put there, he wondered, and what had simply crawled in when he was being untidy?
Eventually, he came across a singing borgle eater that must have crawled in. He ate it immediately, with a tall glass of milk to wash it down, and then he closed his refrigerator and went to bed.
And when he woke up, his stomach was better. Now he just needed to do something about the singing…
The End.
