In the dark .

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Lily, who always sleeps with her teddy bear. One night she got in trouble for not eating her vegetables. So she got sent to bed early and wasn't able to stay up to watch TV... In the middle of the night she remembered that she left her teddy bear down stairs in the living room when she took a nap there that afternoon. She knew she wasn't going to be able to sleep so she decided to walk down stairs and get it without her mom or dad hearing her. As she stepped on the first step down the long stair case, she remembered that one side of the stairs squeaks. So she steps towards the opposite side of the stairs. Going down every single step carefully, she finally got to the bottom. Lily stood there at the bottom of the stair case trying to remember exactly where she left her teddy bear. Trying to feel her way around, she realized it was darker downstairs then upstairs. So she had to feel her way to the kitchen where there was a flashlight.

When she got to the kitchen she looked under the sink to find the flashlight. Knocking over stuff she finally found what she was looking for. Trying to fix what she knocked over, she turned on the flashlight and headed to the living room where she thinks she left her teddy bear. Now that it is easier to see, she walks to the couch were she took her nap that day. Flipping over the pillows, looking under the table, she can't find her teddy bear. She's trying to be quiet while looking for her teddy bear just in case her mom and dad hear her she doesn't want to get into more trouble. Finding out that her teddy bear isn't where she thought it was she sits on the couch for a quick second trying to remember. She can’t think so she decides to go look in the dog's little bed. Her dog liked her teddy bear also. It was soft, cute, and comfortable to sleep with. She didn’t find it in the dog's bed and also didn’t see her dog in the dog bed. Not finding it in the dog bed she decides to just not sleep with it that night. So she puts the flashlight back where she got it and goes back upstairs. Creeping back up the stairs she closes her door. And turns on her night light. Having enough light to look around her room for her teddy bear she doesn’t see it. She turns off the night light and climbs back in bed sad that she won’t have her teddy bear right by her. She tries to fall asleep but she hears a loud snoring. Listening, trying to figure out where it’s coming from, she gets back out of bed and turns back on the night light and looked around. Looking at the dog that suppose to be in its own bed. She looks at him and realizes that it’s her dog that is snoring. Then looking closer at her dog, She sees that her teddy bear is under her dog. She is relieved that she found it but mad that her dog is sleeping with it. Since she loves her dog she lets him sleep with her teddy bear. As long as she knows that her teddy bear is safe and her dog is comfortable she can sleep.

 After a long night Lily turns off the night light again. And climbs back into bed again. Not getting into more trouble she finally falls asleep.
