Annoying mosquito

Knock! Knock!

1

"Who is there?" I ask sleepily.

2

"It is me," a shrill voice says.

3

"Who is 'me'?" I ask.

4

"I told you, it is o-n-l-y m-e," the same voice says.

5

"I don't know anyone called, 'o-n-l-y m-e'," I reply.

I check that my mosquito net is tucked in around my bed.

6

"Well, my name is Amos."

The voice sounds more shrill than before. It is very close to my ear.

7

"Amos who?" I ask as I look under the net.

8

"Amos Quito," the voice finally says.

I feel a bite on my ear.

9

"Ouch!" I jump up and begin to search.

"You will pay for this!" I shout.

10

Angrily, I get out of bed and switch on the light.

11

I declare war on the annoying Amos Quito!
