After a busy day, Charlie gets ready for bed.

He places a glass of water on his bedside table.

He puts his slippers on the rug.

He makes sure there isn’t a monster under his bed.

He hugs his teddy bear tight.

He closes one eye, then the other.

And then Charlie falls asleep.

Charlie awakes with a start.

What is that racket?

“Pardon me, Bird, do you know what time it is?”

“Sorry, I thought I was alone out here.”
