Little
Jack was all tucked up in bed,
ready for a good night's sleep.
But he thought he heard a noise
coming from under his bed.
What was that noise?
It came from under the bed.
It's so scary, I'm so scared,
I'm not sure it's in my head.
Jack laid still, not making a sound,
but then came another rumble from under his bed.
There it was again!
I think I saw it wave.
It's so scary, I'm so scared. I'll
look and I will be brave.
Please don't be scared. I'm here to play.
Ah, but you're a monster!
Doesn't mean we can't play.
Do you want to play catch?
I think there's a ball over there.
Hey, let's throw the ball.
You catch and I can throw.
This is fun and I'm not scared.
Playing catch is fun, you know.
Wow, this is fun!
Can we play again tomor
row night?
Of course!
Now it's time for both of
us to go to bed.
Hello,
Mr.
Monster.
Can we play catch again?
Hi!
What about a different game tonight?
What about hide and seek?
Yes, please!
You can go hide now
I'll count and then I'll seek
You're not over here or over there
Oh, look!
There you are!
What
Jack didn't notice as he started to
climb out from his hiding place
was that the monster was
disappearing because
Jack wasn't afraid anymore.
He had overcome his fear and could
now sleep easy in his bed,
knowing that he had been very brave.
