Once upon a time there were three balloons, mummy balloon, daddy balloon, and baby balloon.
Tired of baby balloon creeping into their bed every night, his daddy pulled him aside and said:
“You’re a big boy now, your mother and I haven’t had a decent night’s sleep for years, so tonight you must stay in your own bed.”
However, when he was sure his mummy and daddy were asleep, baby balloon crept into their room and tried to squeeze into their bed.
But try as he might he just couldn’t fit in, so he let air out of his mummy, but no joy. So he crept round to his daddy’s side of the bed and let a little bit of air out. Again he tried to squeeze in but still couldn’t fit. So he let air out of himself and then settled in for a nice comfortable sleep.
When his dad woke up she was furious!
“Get into your own room at once and think of what you have done young man!” he shouted.
“I am so disappointed in you! What did I say? Not only have you let me down… ”
