Sounds Like: Little Douglas saw a mouse. He ran to tell his mother, but became mixed-up; instead running to tell the mouse that he had seen his mother. The mouse did not understand, which frustrated little Douglas to tears. Meanwhile his mother gnawed holes in the baseboards until all of her teeth broke to pieces. The mouse began to produce a foamy spittle which grew and surrounded its body in a stiff capsule. A sort of hermetic seal, really.
