A four year old rushed into his mother's arms driven by a very strong fear. He was neither able to talk coherently, nor could he cry. His mother hugged him and did not immediately try to get him to explain. The fear was communicative and she could not find the right things to say, but after three or four minutes both of them calmed down and he started to utter: "Tom! Tom!" and later: "Tom is dead, the shark ate him."
Do you remember this? The child had been watching Tom and Jerry on television, and, yes, the shark had its jaws wide open and was about to capture, chew and swallow Tom to the accompaniment of appropriately dramatic music . The child did not see this happening, but was very sure that it was so.
The mother convinced the child to go back to the television set and was not too pleased to find it screening a documentary about red sea sharks who were swallowing their prey . She was not sure what to do, but soon discovered that her son was interested and started to ask questions.
The child refused to watch Tom and Jerry for a very long time.
