Robert was afraid of the sun. He wouldn’t care about the moonlight until he realized that it was the sun’s reflection. He liked all the shadows. Especially, the shadow of his cat Ruby. Ruby was the laziest cat in the world. He was able to lay still on his favourite blanket for the whole day. Surprisingly, his shadow wouldn’t move, either. Even though, the sunlight fell on him and his blanket for at least a few hours a day.

Robert was afraid of his cat, too. Until he realized that his shadow wouldn’t move. He thought, maybe the shadow wanted to tell him something. Perhaps, that being afraid of something means he should search for the reason.
