Day , and Was Midnight , Time To Sleep But After Changing My Clothes I Could
Feel a Sharp Itch All Over My Body, and So I Put On Some Ointment.
My Brother Ben Grass Also Changed His Clothes and Then Realized That His
Body Was Also Itching , I Gave Him The Ointment Too and After Applying The
Ointment , He Went To The Bedroom.
We Both Were About To Sleep and Suddenly The Itch Increased and Then It
Swept Away Our Sleep, The Entire Night Was Sleepless Due To The Itch.
Ben Said That I Think The Bed Must Be Causing The Itch , and We Must
Change It.
I Agreed and Went To The Furniture Store Along With Ben , There Were
Different Types Of Beds , But Were Too Expensive.
So The Plan Was Spoiled and We Returned Back Home.
Later On , Ben Was Looking At The Bed and Soon Realized That It Was The
Itching Bed.
I Think We Must Sleep On The Floor , I said
So We Put On The Quilt On The Floor and Were About To Sleep But The Itch
Started Again.
We Decided To Consult a Doctor.
We Went To The Clinic , and The Doctor Gave The Medicine.
After Taking The Medicine , It Was Quiet a Relax , But About an Hour
Later , The Itch Started Again.
Now Ben Said Let Me Check The Floor and Found Nothing.
Wait a Minute , It is The Itching Bed , I said
Let Me Check The Bed.
I Found Two Bed Bugs On The Bed and They Were Sleeping Tightly On The
Bed.
A While Later , The Bed Bugs Got Up and Started Laughing .
Ben Asked Why Are You Both Laughing ?
Bed Bugs Said This Is The Itching Bed and is Lucky For You , As It is
The Bed You Purchased From Your First Earning and It Gave Us Shelter Too.
I ( Strong Grass ) Think We Must Not Replace The Bed.
Yes Afterall , The Old Things Are Something To Be Preserved , said Ben
Grass.
So We Slept On The Bed.
But Were Awake Again Due To The Laughing Sound.
Will You Both Remain Quiet , said Ben Grass
Sure……. Good Night , said The Bed Bugs.
