Cockroaches
are not very fussy. They eat all that they can find. And,
their favourite dishes are unwashed plates that have
been left overnight in the sink. For them, there's
nothing more delicious
than food that is rotten!
And, the
place they love best is under the fridge.
It is warm, it is quiet, and it's not far from food! For them it's
fantastic!
So, what
about your kitchen? Just look behind the fridge if you
dare! There
might be very many little cockroaches there!
And, what
about little Jenny? She lives in London and her cockroaches live in
a shoe box under her bed. They are friendly and easy
to keep. They can look after themselves. And Jenny doesn't
have to take them for walks. They go out on their own every night!
