Alice was very worried about her dad. For some time now she had noticed he was losing his hair. One day, she asked him, "Daddy, every day you have less hair. Why is that?" Her father smiled and said, "It's the hair thief. He visits my head during the night when I'm asleep. One by one he pulls out my hair as much as he likes. And there's no way to catch him."
This worried Alice. She decided to help her dad. That very night she stayed awake as long as she could. When she was sure her dad and mom had fallen asleep, she took a hammer and went straight to their bedroom. She walked carefully in order not to make any noise. She didn't want the hair thief to hear her. When she arrived at her father's side, she began looking at his head, trying to catch the hair thief as soon as he appeared. Before long, she saw a shadow on it and she hit it with the hammer.
Her father let out a loud cry. Trembling with shock, he turned the light on and saw Alice waving her hammer in the air with her hands. "Daddy, I nearly got him. I thought I hit him, but it looks like he escaped!” said Alice. Meanwhile, all the noise had woken Alice's mother up. She burst out laughing when she knew what had happened.
''Well, that's what happens when you tell silly stories," she said, highly amused.
