Lily was upset. She did not want to go to bed. She wanted to play with her toys and watch TV. She tried to resist when Mom came to take her to her room. She kicked and screamed and cried.
Mom was patient. She hugged Lily and said, "I know you are upset, but it is time to sleep. You need to rest your body and your mind. Tomorrow you can play and watch TV again." She carried Lily to her room and put her on her bed.
Lily still did not want to sleep. She got up and ran to the door. Mom caught her and said, "No, Lily, you have to stay in your bed. I will read you a story and sing you a song, but then you have to close your eyes and sleep." She took Lily back to her bed and tucked her in.
Lily liked stories and songs. She listened to Mom read her a book about a princess and a dragon. She liked the princess and the dragon. They were friends and had fun. Mom sang her a song about the stars and the moon. She liked the stars and the moon. They were bright and beautiful.
Lily felt sleepy. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She cuddled with her teddy bear and said, "I love you, Mom." Mom smiled and said, "I love you, too, Lily. Good night, sweetie." She kissed Lily on the forehead and turned off the light. She left the door open a little bit and said, "I will be right here if you need me."
Lily closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of the princess and the dragon, the stars and the moon, and Mom and teddy. She was not upset anymore. She was happy and peaceful.
