is fear became generalized to include other white, furry objects.

In the real world, fear can be acquired by a frightening traumatic

accident. For example, if a child falls into a well and struggles to

get out, he a or she may develop a fear of wells, to heights

(acrophobia), enclosed spaces (claustrophobia), or water.
