Bad Dream

Last night, Tom had a bad dream about a monster that chased him. He begged his mother to let him sleep on her bed.His mother told him that she could stay with him for a little while.But Tom was afraid that when his mother went away the monster will be back. The next night Tom's mother had an idea.She brought an armful of toys into Tom's room. She asked Tom to choose a toy to protect him.

The first night, there was one toy on his bed. The next day, there were two. By the end of the week, all of Tom's toys joined him. It was very crowded. Tom felt very uncomfortable. He told his mother he was not comfortable. His mother asked Tom to choose just one toy. He chose Teddy, his brown bear.

Tom was comfortable but he was still scared. He told his mother that Teddy wanted a toothbrusth to brush the tooth monster away. Finally, they were sleeping happily together, Tom, Teddy and the toothbrush.
