bedtime story..

the little boy snuggled into his bed, surrounded by his many fluffy pillows.
he pulls his blanky up to his chest and waits eagerly for his story.

"i've got a new one for you today darling.. let's see.."
'but i liked the old one mummy...'
"but we've read that one a hundred times! i'm sure a little change would do you no harm?"
'oh please mummy, please...', begs the little boy who's sitting upright and looking a little distraught.
"oh alright... god knows i could tell it to you with my eyes closed", sighs his mother, resigned. She prods his nose lovingly and helps him back under his blanky.

and just as soon as she began reading, in her usual magical tone, he drifted off to sleep.. off to places people have only read about... into the wonderous world of his dreams...

"sleep tight, my little angel... i'll see you in the morning", she plants a kiss on his cheek.
