Continuing excerpts from a children's book for adults

"There are wolves in the walls," she told her mother. "I can hear them."

"No," said her mother. "There are no wolves in the walls. You must be hearing mice, I suppose."

"Wolves," said Lucy.

"I'm sure it's not wolves," said her mother. "For you know what they say.....If the wolves come out of the walls, then it's all over."
