I was feeling sleepy one night and it was my first real night in a proper bed. I was just dozing off when I heard a roar from under my bed. I made my Dad come in and look for the Lion that was under there but he never found it!
To this day, I still jump into bed so that nothing can grab my ankles and I always tuck my feet into the end of the duvet so nothing can tickle me in the night.
