Once upon a time there was a sleepy man. He read in bed for a few minutes as he did every night, but tonight he could not sleep. He was wide awake. He spent some time gazing out of the window and he saw a shooting star. "Amazing!" he thought, but if only I could sleep. Then briefly he did sleep, but his dream was not a restful one. He dreamed that a boogie man was standing behind him and he was deeply frightened. He ran and ran as fast as he could, but the boogie man wouldn't give up. In his dream, the man picked a flower and offered to the boogie man, and suddenly he was awake again. What to do? He gazed around his room and realized that he could try counting sheep. So he did, 1, 2, 3... 15... 25... 150... 198... and finally he slept and awoke happy and restful.
