The cockroach that cockroach enters his head Story: Deborah Omar

[Board I]
There used to be a glossy dark brown insect. When the little one is born he is called a cockroach, as if he is something he has corrected.
But as this insect grew a little, everyone who encountered it ran over, sprayed or hit it, and then they started calling it a cockroach.
Maybe because that name sounds a bit like the word hit.
The insect suffered greatly. Over time he became quite accustomed to insults, but not to beatings, so the unfortunate often cried and complained about his bitter fate. At that time, the cockroach fell in love with an orange beetle with dark spots that was once called the Ladybug and is now called Mushit.
This little one, with the round body, was liked by the cockroach until he overcame his shame, approached her and offered her friendship.
"The two are better than the one," the beetle stated - Moshit and added, "but I already have a boyfriend," she told the cockroach. And he was very disappointed.

To encourage the disappointed lover, the beetle told the cockroach: that in one forest, far from here, lives a magician butterfly. And offered to go out looking for him. And ask him to make the cockroach strong and huge. So no one would ever bother him, but the cowardly cockroach was afraid to move. Thats why Mushit announced:
"To despair can always be enough," and also reminded him of the saying, that,
"There is nothing that stands in the way of desire!"
And so the cockroach and the beetle went until they reached the mushroom.
The magician - the butterfly - fell asleep on it.
