I have a mouse in my room. It comes out at night and scurries across the floor. This wakes me up and I get upset and throw a pillow at the mouse and it runs away.
Last night I got woken up again by the mouse. I had the impulse to throw the pillow, but I stopped.
I said, “Hey, mouse.”
The mouse stopped. It said, “What?”
I said, “I need to sleep. I was wondering if I can get you something so you stop running around and waking me up.”
The mouse said, “Can I sleep next to you?”
I said, “Okay.” I lifted up my blankets and the mouse crawled in. The mouse laid with its back to my chest. I put my arm over the mouse and fell asleep in seconds.
