Explanation:
Han blev kaldt Nullerbassen, fordi han var den største og ældste nullermand i det værelse. Han var engang blevet født på ærmet af en uld trøje sammen med nogle andre nullermænd. Støvsugeren havde tit været efter ham, men hver gang var han smuttet væk og havde gemt sig. Alle de nullermænd, der var født sammen med ham, var væk nu. Støvsugeren havde taget dem, eller måske var de nulret et andet sted hen.
