Once Upon a Time: Bed Time Story

A bedtime story is a story, you tell a child, before they go to bed. It can be scary, exciting or funny. Often when you tell a bedtime story, the child falls asleep or gets sleepy. I´m going to tell you a story about a little boy.

Once upon a time there was a little boy, that lived with his older brother in an abandoned shack in the woods. They were very poor, so the shack was not in a good shape. One day when the older brother was out hunting for food, the boy heard someone knock on the door. The boy looked and saw no one. He tried to go out and look but no one was there. Then a while after his older brother came home. The boy told the older brother what happened. The older brother just told him, that he was probably just hearing stuff, because he had not eaten for more than a day. But then, the next day he heard it again. He ran out, to see if anyone was there, and no one was there. He then decided to shout, “is anybody there!” and nobody answered. The next day it happened again, someone knocking. This time the older brother ran out. He saw a man with a huge knife in his hand, he ran inside and told the younger brother, that a man was outside with a huge knife. The older brother told the younger brother to go hide. There was a little space that the younger brother could fit into, he then went inside there and hid. He heard them talking inside the shack. When he was just about to go out, he heard a weird noise, it sounded like when you slice a deer's throat. He then hurried to go out and then he saw the man with the huge knife standing there right beside his older brother, the older brother was dead, his throat was cut. Then the younger brother started to run away from the man. The man began to run after the boy. The boy was slightly slower than the man, but the boy got a big head start. The boy soon realized that he couldn´t run away forever, so he decided to run zig zag between the trees, so the man kind of lost track of him. And then when the boy thought that it was a good time to go hide, he jumped to the side under a big fallen tree. The boy thought that the man lost him, so he stepped out from under the log. Just as he stepped out the man grabbed him from behind, he was standing behind him all the time. Just as the man was about to cut his throat, a deer came jumping over the man's head and kicked the man in the head then he fainted. The boy then ran away. When he was almost out of the woods, he heard a guy, he was yelling a name. The boy quickly made up an assumption of that he was the man´s friend. He started to run away, out of the forest.

He then met a woman and a man on the street, when he got out of the woods. They had a pram, he realized that they were a family. He then decided to ask if he could live with them. He told them what had happened to his brother. They adopted him and he lived happy forever.
