Freya the dinosaur was having a sleepover! Flo the rabbit and Danny the duck were coming, and they’d brought pillows, blankets and teddies.
First, they built a blanket fort. Then they had a midnight feast of juicy apple slices. Freya laughed so much that her big tail knocked over the lamp.
Then it was time for bed. Freya climbed into her big, comfy bed. ‘Goodnight,’ said Flo. ‘Goodnight,’ said Danny. The light went off, and the room became very dark.
Freya lay awake. She thought about how very big and dark the night was. Her tail twitched. ‘Are you awake?’ whispered Flo. ‘I can’t sleep,’ said Freya.
‘I can’t either,’ said Danny. ‘I have an idea,’ said Flo, and pulled out a glow-worm lantern. The room filled with a warm, soft glow. The dark didn’t feel big anymore.
The three friends snuggled together, looking at the light until their eyes grew heavy. Soon, all that could be heard was three tiny snores. And one great big dino snore.
The little lesson
Sharing a little light and a lot of friendship makes the dark feel cosy.
