The Little Vampie (vol. I)

A Surprise in a Cobweb: Of an elderly lady and a tiny vampire

Mrs Lizzi gets quite a shock when she discovers a little vampire in her flat. It looks tiny and helpless, and she decides to bring it up on the bottle – with milk, of course, not blood. The little vampire develops only one characteristic feature: Whenever someone flies into a rage or starts shouting, the vampire pricks the person's gall bladder and sucks out all the poison. People turn quiet and gentle as a lamb. One day, somebody discovers the usefulness of this poison-sucking little animal, and the tiny creature almost dies with intoxication. Of course it is saved in the end!
