Story 24. What Is Under the Bed?
I'm the youngest girl in my family.
My older sisters liked scary movies.
I did not.
But still, I ended up watching a scary movie with them.
I was trying to act older.
After the movie, I went right to bed.
But I couldn't sleep.
Every sound was scary.
Finally, I started to fall asleep.
But then I heard a noise under my bed.
I was really scared.
I screamed.
My whole family came rushing into the bedroom.
What is under the bed?
I yelled.
My dad reached under the bed and pulled out the monster.
I screamed again.
Then I laughed.
It was our cat, Willy.
Dad put Willy on the bed with me.
I finally fell asleep.
When I woke up in the morning, I said to my cat, no more scary movies for me, Willy.
I could see that he agreed.
It had been a scary night for him, too.
