Down Syndrome kid vs Troll
My friend has recently returned from Russia as his working Visa has ran out and he needs to wait a while to get it sorted.

Anyhow he told me this story (which i REALLY hope is true).

Whilst he was over there he was chatting to someone who told him this story about how their son who has down syndrome is in big trouble.

'But why?' my friend asked.

Well - The father had recently gone out and left his down syndrome son alone in the house for a while, whilst he went shopping. During that time his son kept ringing him and thinking it was an emergency he answered the phone to hear his son saying 'The troll is trying to escape, the troll is trying to escape', so the father just humoured him and told him not to worry.

Ten minutes later, the phone rang again and it was his son saying 'Dad, dad the troll is trying to escape from the cupboard, what shall i do?'

The Dad was a little bit concerned at this point, because he could hear a loud banging sound in the background, so he asked his son what was going on, to which he got the reply 'Dad it's the troll in the cupboard, he's trying to escape!'

Beyond curious now, the Dad rushed home and walked into the house to find his son sat with his back to the cupboard under the stairs, with something banging and moaning inside. The nearby furniture was upturned and the house was a mess.

Alarmed - he opened the cupboard to find a terrified and angry midget. Who had been kidnapped from the streets, who had previously been dropping leaflets through peoples letterboxes. Now the confused down syndrome guy must have assumed he was some kind of plaything and promptly dragged him into the house and locked him in the cupboard.

Just realised this is quite possibly an urban legend after a quick google. :(

Yup
sounds like a variation on the "guys tripping on acid catch a gnome, when they wake up there's a man with downs syndrome eating biscuits in the kitchen" nonsense.

The variations on this old story
are reasonably amusing.
