Brave Little Omar
Omar is a brave knight by day, but at night, the dark castle is very spooky.
Omar was the bravest knight in the kingdom. He had a shiny helmet and a wooden sword. In the daytime, he was not afraid of anything. But at night, in the dark castle, he felt a little shaky.
The shadows looked like monsters. The creaks sounded like growls. Omar pulled the blanket up to his nose. ‘I’m a knight,’ he whispered. ‘Knights aren’t scared.’ But he was.
Then Percy the piglet climbed onto the bed. ‘Do you want to go for a walk?’ asked Percy. ‘I have a star lamp.’ Omar nodded. Together they tiptoed into the hall.
The monster in the corner was only a coat on a hook. The growl was the wind in the chimney. The big shadow was Omar’s own shadow, waving back. Omar began to giggle.
‘The dark isn’t so scary with a friend and some light,’ said Omar. Percy snuggled close. And Omar climbed back into bed, with a star lamp glowing softly beside him, and fell fast asleep.
