Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sally. Sally had a scary dream. In the dream, there was a big, scary monster. The monster wanted to scare Sally.
Sally woke up and felt scared. She looked at her thumb and remembered her mom said, "When you feel scared, just hold your thumb tight and the scary things will go away."
Sally held her thumb tight and the scary feeling went away. She knew the monster could not scare her anymore. She was brave and went back to sleep. From that day on, Sally was never scared of monsters again.
