9 Terry, Will You Please be Quiet, Please

CHAPTER 9 TERRY, WILL YOU PLEASE BE QUIET, PLEASE? 'Well, I sure am glad that's over,' I say. 'Now I've got my tooth back I'm going to go to bed right away so the tooth fairy can come and give me two dollars!' 'But it's way too early to go to bed,' says Terry. 'It's still daytime.'

'I know,' I say, 'but I can't wait until tonight—we have to get our book done before then. So can you please be really quiet so I can get to sleep?' 'Sure thing, Andy,' says Terry. 'You can count on me!

Goodnight!' 'Goodnight, Terry,' I say. I climb the ladder to my bedroom, put on my pyjamas and get into bed. I am actually feeling quite tired after climbing the never-ending staircase so I don't think it's going to be too difficult to fall asleep. In fact, I'm falling asleep right now.

I'm falling... falling... falling...

falling... falling... falling...

I'm almost asleep when I hear really loud clomping. It's so loud my bed is shaking.
