For years, Kyle Hargreaves, 13, had a secret fear. It wasn't of snakes or spiders or of heights. Kyle was afraid of mascots (吉祥物). That's right — those characters in fun costumes (服裝) at sporting events and amusement parks.

Just seeing a mascot made Kyle shudder. He even would have trouble breathing. “What's wrong with me?” Kyle wondered. And as time went on, the problem only became worse.

Kyle decided to face his fear. He told his dad about it. Hearing that, his dad couldn't believe his ears. He took Kyle to a hospital at once. There Kyle was treated (治療) in a special way. He was asked to face the feared object step by step.

First, a man carrying a rabbit costume appeared. Kyle started to fear, but he didn't run away. Next, the man put on the whole costume except for the head. Then he played basketball with Kyle. After a while, the man put on the head. Other mascots joined the game.

Kyle was nervous every step of the way. But finally he relaxed. By the end of the day, his fear was gone. To prevent his fear from returning, Kyle played with mascots several times for a month.

To celebrate Kyle's new relationship with mascots, his family went on a trip. Where did they go? To a place full of mascots!
