I CAN SLEEP ALONE! IM GROWING! (FAMILY)
WHEN HE WAS A BABY, HE LIKED SLEEPING IN MUM’S ARMS. HE FELL ASLEEP AND MUM PUT HIM IN HIS COT. IF HER BABY WAS NERVOUS, MUM TOUCHED HIS HAND TO CALM HIM.
THE PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN THE COT IS TOO SMALL FOR HIM AND THE CHILD MUST GO TO HIS BED.
MUM TELLS HIM A TALE.
‘DON’T GO!' SAYS THE CHILD. ‘I NEED YOUR HAND TO SLEEP.’
‘OK, BUT THEN YOU MUST SLEEP THE WHOLE NIGHT.’
BABY, BABY, BABY
COT, COT, COT
SLEEP WITH MUM
YES, YES, YES.
THE CHILD SLEEPS BUT, WHEN MUM AND DAD GO TO BED AND FALL ASLEEP, HE GOES TO THEIR BED AND HE LIES DOWN BETWEEN THEM.
‘OH NO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?’ ASKS DAD.
‘I’M SCARED. ONLY THIS NIGHT, PLEASE…’
THAT HAPPENS EVERY NIGHT. MUM AND DAD ARE SAD.
SLEEP ALONE
OH, OH!
GO TO MUM’S BED
YES, YES, YES.
SUMMER ARRIVES. IT IS VERY HOT AT NIGHT. WHEN MUM AND DAD FALL ASLEEP THE CHILD WALKS TO THEIR BED AND HE LIES DOWN BETWEEN THEM.
THE BED IS VERY HOT AND WET. HE IS TERRIBLY HOT. HE GOES TO HIS BED. IT IS WARM. HE SLEEPS FINE IN HIS OWN BED WHERE HE IS NOT HOT. IT IS THE BEST NIGHT OF HIS LIFE.
THE NEXT DAY:
‘MUM, I SLEPT VERY WELL AND COMFORTABLE.
MUM’S BED
HOT, HOT, HOT,
MY BEDROOM
OK, OK, OK.
THE BOY HAS SOMETHING TO SAY:
‘I WANT TO SLEEP IN MY OWN BED… IT’S THE MOST COMFORTABLE PLACE IN THE WORLD.’
‘ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?’
‘NO, IT IS NONSENSE…’ SAYS THE CHILD.
‘OUR CHILD IS GROWING!’ SAYS MUM.
‘YES, I THINK SO.’
THE CHILD IS VERY HAPPY:
‘I’M GROWING! HURRAY!’
THE CHILD SLEEPS ALONE. ACCORDING TO HIS EXPERIENCE, IT IS THE BEST OPTION. BUT ONCE A WEEK, ON SATURDAYS OR ON SUNDAYS HE GOES TO HIS PARENT’S BED AND HE PLAYS WITH THEM.
I LIKE MY BEDROOM
HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY,
I CAN SLEEP ALONE
ONE, TWO, THREE.
I CAN SLEEP ALONE!
BABY, BABY, BABY
COT, COT, COT
SLEEP WITH MUM
YES, YES, YES.
SLEEP ALONE
OH, OH!
GO TO MUM’S BED
YES, YES, YES.
MUM’S BED
HOT, HOT, HOT,
MY BEDROOM
OK, OK, OK.
I LIKE MY BEDROOM
HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY,
I CAN SLEEP ALONE
ONE, TWO, THREE.
