| "Tom The Cricket" under the table! |
The pattern proceeded for three more nights.
"Chirp"
The cricket who was silent by day and noisy by night managed to travel from under the kitchen sink to under a small table still in the kitchen. The missionary, every morning, would search and scout for the small creature, but to no avail did they find it. The missionary concluded that it was only at night that the cricket can be caught, trapped, and disposed of. So on the fourth night:
"Chirp"
The missionary, like they had done once before, tiptoed down the stairs to enter the kitchen, turned on the light.
"Chirp"
They grabbed a hold of the walking insects bug killer spray (that had been positioned on the table earlier that day).
Aimed.
Sprayed.

....
The victory came quick and silence quicker. The remainder of the night was one of peace and tranquility; one that allowed the missionary to lay and ponder there in her bed.
Thus concludes the story of the missionary and the cricket.
"lay and ponder there her bed." ?
