Que même les scorpions préféraient rentrer dans les maisons, que, la première nuit, aux alentours des trois heures, Zinnia en vit un qui la fixait méchamment, figé la tête en bas au-dessus de son lit, et qu'à dater de cette nuit-là, elle laissa la lumière allumée du coucher au réveil et ne dormit plus que d'un œil.

Even the scorpions preferred to retreat into the houses, and on that first night, at around three o'clock, Zinnia saw one of them hanging upside down above her bed, staring menacingly down at her; and from that night on, she left the light on when she went to bed until the moment she woke up, and slept with one eye open.

Hello Wendy, right from the start, this text reminded me of a text we’d translated, and I thought it was the sequel. But no, it's really the text we’d translated before. It’s a real shame, because I really love this sort of stories: they’re beautifully written and full of humour.
