Summary-The World in a Wall
‘The World in a Wall’ is about a scorpion and the reactions of family members towards it. A boy spots a scorpion on a wall near his home. Since he was tempted to take it but knew that his mother would not allow it, he placed the scorpion and the babies in the matchbox. In the home, he carefully placed the matchbox on the table and sat down for lunch. Larry, having finished already, picked up the matchbox and opened it. This led to a chaos on the dining table as the female scorpion tried to escape with her babies. Since Lugaretzia was the only stranger in the house, Roger, their dog, thought that she was responsible and bit her on the ankle. After a lot of panic in the family, the author was made to round up the scorpions and leave them out of the house on the wall. The family retired to the drawing room, and the author and Roger spent the afternoon on the hillside. They release the scorpion in the wild.
