This bedtime story is only ten words long. But first we have to warm up our voices to read the story. Then we have to remember to give a big stretch and a yawn. We have to make sure we are comfy in bed with all our pillows. Then we have to double check that we have all our stuffy toys. Our story needs a special fanfare with a little drum and a toy horn. Once everyone is snuggled up, we can finally hear the ten-word story. And we can finally sleep tight.
