Chapter One
Time For Bed
Turn off that television, Minnie said to her son, Hershey. But, Mom! Can I just have five more minutes, PLEASE? It's my favorite show and I promise I'll get up for school tomorrow. Well, I guess five more minutes is O.K., but not a second more. Besides, I don't like you watching those scary shows right before bed. You'll have bad dreams. Not me, mom. I'm not scared of anything!
Hershey was so tired when he finally headed off for bed, that he almost forgot to brush his teeth. He went back to the bathroom and picked up his toothbrush and squeezed on a big glob of his favorite toothpaste and sleepily began to brush his teeth. As he looked at himself in the mirror, he thought he saw a shadow sneak past him. He knew that he must be imagining things and thought to himself, Maybe mom was right. I probably shouldn't watch scary shows right before bed.
