As soon as something šušnulo near him, my heart would start beating fast to him, the palms to sweat and ears to his growth.

All night would not listened to anything under the bed, that someone is not in the closet, and so are his ears grew and grew. One evening, as they grew to be for them stuck to everything and made ​​a real mess in the universe, which then became angry with him ...

For Jakop, from his aunt

T

here was once a boy named Luke.

5

At first glance, he wasn’t different from his friends – he collected football cards, played computer games, did not like to comb his hair and really hated to tie his shoelaces. Still, there was something that made him different from other children his age. Whenever something made a sound nearby, his heart would start pounding incredibly fast.

6

His hands would start sweating, and his mouth went dry. His stomach was in

knots, sometimes even a bow. The worst thing was that his ears would start growing faster and faster until they turned into a state-of-the-art listening device.

Crisp!

Believe it or not, Luke could hear when the neighbor snored next door, or when a cat passed over the roof of the building across the street.

Whoosh!

Pad!

Schreech!

Crisp!

Flick!

Fwip!

Gnash!

The kid is lying through his teeth!

I never snore! Here, ask my dog!

Shmm!

Crack!

Krr!

Swish!

Click!

Shush!

Crisp!

Shush!

He even told us once that he heard a spider knitting a web when he visited his grandma in the country. However, since this has not yet been confirmed, we will cut this event from the story.

Just to be on the safe side!

This marvel of nature happened to Luke more often at night, when he was alone, than during the day, when he had company. The science was speechless. His parents were breathless.

I am at a loss for words!

Chomp!

he boy’s ears grew bigger and bigger each T day. They grew so big, they could not fit under the hat.

- They grew exactly 24 mm – sighed Dad. My poor child... – cried Mom.

– Don’t panic! Everything is going to be all right...

– Aunt comforted them.

Luke could not sleep well. Sometimes he could not sleep a wink. He would strain his ears all night long and listen – lest someone was in the closet, or something was on the window, or someone was under the bed, or something got caught in his hair, or something or other did this or that... If he by any chance fell asleep before dawn, he would have such horrid dreams that he could not put up with it any longer.

Terrible!

Just terrible!

I’m packing my things and leaving! It’s beneath me to frighten such a wimp! Farewell! - the monster from the third drawer Monster of third drawer

Schlip!

Crack!

Luke had incredible ears.

Whenever something made a sound nearby, his heart would start pounding incredibly fast, his hands would start sweating, and his mouth would go dry and the worst of all his ears would start growing. All night long he would listen if something was under the bed, if someone was in the closet and his ears were simply growing bigger and bigger. One evening his ears had grown so big that they hooked on a lot of different things – trees and shops, almost half the town and even the Moon and the stars…
