(A not so nice bedtime story)

Please tell me a story, Daddy,
then I'll go right to sleep.

Sure, son. Once upon a time,
there was this loveable little boy,

And he was so nice, his
Daddy bought him lots of toys.

They all lived happily ever after.
Goodnight, son. Go to sleep now.

Tell me another story, Daddy,
and then I'll go to sleep.

Well, once upon a time,
there was a beautiful princess.

She had a few great adventures,
then she married Prince Charming.

They lived happily ever after.
Now go to sleep.

Tell me another story. I want a drink
of water, then I'll go to sleep.

Now, you had your drink of water.
Once upon a time there was this …

ugly, warty old frog. He jumped up
and kissed the beautiful princess.

She turned into an ugly, warty frog,
and they lived unhappily ever after.

Now son, please
go to sleep!

Another story. I want another story
and THEN I'll go to sleep

Once upon a time, just last week,
an ugly evil witch cast a spell on some

hateful kid, and turned him into a sponge
that everyone used to wash the floors.

But he finally dried out and turned back
into a kid with chapped skin,

and lived not too happily ever after.
Now! Go to sleep!

I want another story. I want to go to the
bathroom. Then maybe I'll go to sleep.

Once upon a time, day before yesterday,
cannibals took this rotten little kid.

They tied him up really tight so it hurt,
and were going to boil and eat him,

but someone accidentally rescued him
and he lived ever after. Go-to-sleep-now!

I want ANOTHER story!
I'm not sleepy at all!

ONCE UPON A TIME, TONIGHT TO BE EXACT,
THERE WAS THIS KID WHO WOULDN'T GO TO SLEEP.

HIS DADDY TURNED INTO A MONSTER
AND ALMOST TORE HIM LIMB FROM LIMB!

AND HE LIVED…BUT JUST BARELY!
ARE YOU GOING TO SLEEP?

Goodnight, Daddy.
I'm going to sleep now, right now.

Goodnight, Son.
Sleep well, sweet dreams.

The End
