Duckworth is considered a very difficult child. At least, that is what his extremely strict parents believe. So when Duckworth frantically tries to explain that a gigantic cobra has slithered out of his bedroom closet, his parents refuse to listen. They insist it is all in his head and tell him he is far too old to be imagining such ridiculous nonsense. They just want him to do his chores. Even when the massive snake slides right up and swallows Duckworth completely whole, his parents remain entirely unconvinced. They simply ask where he found such a silly snake costume and demand he put it away. What is a boy to do when his parents absolutely will not pay attention? This deliciously dark and funny story explores exactly how to handle impossibly stubborn adults.
