Клещ was a little tick who lived in a big tree.

One day, Клещ's mama told him to jump from the tree onto a boy's shoulder.

Клещ was scared because the boy was very tall.

But Клещ trusted his mama, so he took a deep breath and jumped.

The boy felt something tickling his shoulder and started laughing.

Клещ was happy that he made the boy laugh.

From that day on, Клещ and the boy became best friends.

They played together every day and had lots of fun.

Клещ learned that sometimes taking a leap can lead to great adventures.

And he was grateful to his mama for helping him be brave.
