Monsters under the bed

Lola lay in bed, eyes wide open. She heard soft noises—*scratch scratch*—coming from under her bed. Her heart beat fast. "Is a monster there?" she whispered.

Slowly, a fluffy green monster peeked out. But instead of scary, it smiled! "Hello, Lola! I’m Momo, the story monster. Would you like to hear a bedtime story?"

Lola nodded with a big smile. Momo opened a big, colorful book and began to read about a brave little cloud that loved to twinkle. Lola's eyes became heavy as she listened.

As the story ended, Lola yawned and hugged Momo. "Thank you, Momo," she said softly. The little monster whispered, "Sweet dreams, Lola," and she drifted happily to sleep.
