Tilly and Ted

`What story would you like tonight?' asked her mummy. `Can I have the story of the hedgehog family, please?' This was one of Tilly's favorite stories.

As her mummy read the story, Tilly gradually drifted off to sleep.

Her mummy smiled after putting the book on the floor, leaning it against the dressing table, and crept out of the room.

She couldn't remember the last time that they had reached the end of the story. `Hey sleepy head, wake up. We need to get going.' Tilly shook her head, her mummy wasn't sitting on the bed, so whose voice was it?`Did you hear me?' came the voice again, with that she felt a thump on the bed and standing in front of her, hands on his hips was Ted. `What do you mean we need to go? Go where and why are you talking?' Tilly rushed all of the questions out in one go.
