When I was a child I used to be scared of a big monster, that in my country is called: Bicho Papão. It's a legend that people believe that this moster eats little children. My mom and my dad usually told me, if I didn't eat, the Bicho Papão would pick me up and take me from my house, and after he would eat me.
