How To Avoid Monsters Under Your Bed

In Two Easy Steps


Many of us can remember having childhood fears about sinister creatures hiding under our beds. Some of us spent the best years of our lives, the years when we were actually encouraged to sleep as much as possible, avoiding bedtimes because of our fears. Max, on the other hand, has found a novel way to confront and overcome this childhood trauma. Rather than waste valuable time being afraid of the goblin under his bed, he has very sensibly given his bed to the goblin, and taken up residence on a futon mattress on the floor. He is a tactical genius! Any monster that wanted to hide under the futon would have to be so thin and flat that its strength would be badly compromised. Plus, by freely giving up his bed, he cements a useful alliance that he can draw upon when times are tough. If you look closely in the crib, you can actually see the goblin, guarding Max's slumber. Child and mythical beast can both rest easy, knowing that their ally will alert them to any danger. What a beautiful example of mutually beneficial friendship in action!
