Once there was a cute little girl named Delaney who was afraid of monsters under her bed and bad dreams in her head.
One day she met a dustball under her bed and it said, "I will really protect you from monsters and bad dreams. Monsters don’t like dustaballs, and all you have to do is say these words each night to your mom and dad before you go to sleep.
"’Good night, don’t let the bed bugs bite.’
"’I love you bigger than the whole universe.’"
"Will I have good dreams?"
"Yes!"
"Are there monsters under my bed?"
"No!"
"Is Huge Dustball under my bed?"
"Yes!"
"How many kids does he have?"
"10,001."
"Sweet Dreams."
"We love you."
"Goodnight."
"The End!!!!"
