When I was five years old, my mom told me a scary tale. It was night and my sister and I wanted to play outside in the garden. My mom was resting in bed, reading us a story, when my sister finally ask my mom if we could go outside and play. My mom shook her head. She told us that it was too dark to play and she would bring us to the park tomorrow. We didn't listen to her and beged her to go outside with us to play in the garden. She got annoyed and told us if we go outside, Si Ouey will come and eat us. At that time, we didn't know what a "Si Ouey" was so we asked her about it. The tale was about a man, called 'Si Ouey' who ate kids for a living. My mom said that if we were to go outside, Si Ouey will eat us up and we will never see our parents again. This story got us scared and for the rest of out kidish life, we stayed indoors, scared to go outside.
