Laban and Bus are playing soccer. Laban is the goalkeeper. A hard shot from Bus flies past Laban and into the darkest tower. Ouch! Laban has to retrieve it. He is so afraid of the dark. Inside the tower, something whizzes by and Laban lets out a terrible scream as he rushes out. On his head is a small furry bundle. Bus carefully removes it and places the little tangled bundle in Laban's hands. It slowly unfolds itself. It's a baby bat! Taking care of a little bat isn't so easy; no matter what they do, the little creature doesn't look very happy. But then they come up with something they have to try, even though it means staying out in the middle of the night.
