morning. I jumped out of the bed and rushed towards the voice. In the living room, I found
Aldo crying. His right hand was on his right ear. He said, "Help, help, help. It hurts!" Then,
he told me that an insect had entered his ear. I was quite sorry for the insect. I figured it
was an ant. I imagined how miserable the ant was.
Since Aldo couldn't stop crying. I decided to take him to the hospital. Soon after our
arrival, a doctor in charge examined Aldo's ear. He, then, used a pair of pincers to take the
insect out. I was so surprised to see the insect. It wasn't an ant. It was a young cockroach!
