Douglas and Fluffy ( the family dog ) are sitting in the garden. They have played a very long time and are taking a break now. They are absolutely filthy. Fluffy starts scratching vehemently.

"What is the matter, Fluffy? Do you have itchy bugs in your fur?"

Fluffy scratches his ear and everywhere he can reach his body.

Mom enters the garden.

"Mummy, I think that Fluffy has bugs. He is scratching all the time."
His mother inspects the coat of the dog.

"Oops, I have to get you a flea collar, Fluffy," she says. Soon Fluffy has his flea collar around his neck. "Then all the flees will disappear quickly," Mum laughs. She gives Fluffy a cuddle on his head.

Douglas and Fluffy are sitting side by side again. Douglas thinks about the flees. What is the itching on his back? He starts scratching. Ouch , now the itching is in his hair! With some speed he runs to his mother.

"Mummy, Mummy, I think I need a flea collar as well. I itch all over."

"Show me," Mummy says. She searches Douglas' hair. "I don't see anything Doug," she smiles. "This happens sometimes when you think too much about itchy bugs. But I have an idea. I will wash you thouroughly in the bath. Then you can have a collar too."

"Do I still have to wear a flea collar?" Douglas says scared.

"No, silly. I meant a neckless with sweets" Mum laughs.
A necklace with sweets?
What a surprise!
