Once upon a time there was a little boy called Ben. Ben was only three and he was often sad. He liked to go to bed early but he was very unhappy in his bed.
His mattress was old and lumpy, it was very difficult for him to sleep without suffering. He used to cry and tell his parents that he was too uncomfortable.
One day, his parents came up with a clever plan. They gathered all their money and bought Ben a new mattress, a nice and comfy one!
When the new mattress arrived, Ben was overjoyed! He jumped on top of it and said with a beaming smile: “This is just perfect! Thank you Mommy and Daddy!”
He immediately noticed that the mattress was sour, but he still preferred it to his old lumpy one.
He snuggled up on the mattress and soon fell asleep. From now on, Ben no longer had to suffer in bed, and he was very happy.
