Once upon a time, there was Mr. Stubborn. He lived in a little cottage at the edge of a forest. When bedtime came, Mr. Stubborn refused to go to bed. He said the moon was too bright and he wanted to watch it some more. His mother tried to persuade him, but he just crossed his arms and shook his head. Eventually, he got so tired from all his stubbornness that he fell asleep right on the floor, and in the morning he woke up with a sore back and learned that it's better to listen sometimes.
A possible plot is that Mr. Stubborn doesn't like the color of his bedroom walls at bedtime. He says it makes him feel too excited to sleep. He demands that his parents repaint the walls right away. His parents try to reason with him, saying it's too late. But Mr. Stubborn won't have it. He starts to cry and throw a tantrum. After a while, he calms down a bit and his parents offer to put up some calming pictures on the walls instead. Mr. Stubborn agrees, and by the time the pictures are up, he's so tired that he falls asleep on his bed.
Once upon a time, Mr Tumble was getting ready for bed. He put on his warm pajamas and brushed his teeth. As he lay in his bed, he started to tell himself a story about a magical land. In this land, all the toys could talk and play together at night. Mr Tumble imagined himself joining in their games. And as he thought about these fun things, he slowly drifted off to sleep, with a big smile on his face.
Once upon a time, Mr Bean was getting ready for bed. He put on his pajamas, but he put them on backwards by mistake. He then tried to brush his teeth, but the toothpaste tube was empty. So, he squeezed really hard and toothpaste splattered all over the mirror. After that, he climbed into bed, but his teddy bear was missing. He searched everywhere until he found it under his pillow. Finally, he fell asleep with a big smile on his face.
It could be that being in harmony with nature, as Mr. Sloth is in his jungle home, is important. He sleeps under the stars, among the leaves, and is part of the natural cycle. So the moral might be to respect and embrace the natural world around us, and in doing so, we can find tranquility like Mr. Sloth at bedtime.
There was this sloth, Mr. Sloth, who was quite particular about his bedtime. He would wait until the moon was high in the sky. Before going to sleep, he would have a little chat with the owl that lived nearby. The owl would tell him stories of the night world, and Mr. Sloth would listen intently. After the chat, Mr. Sloth would start his journey to his sleeping perch. It was a long and slow journey, but he didn't mind. Once there, he would let out a contented sigh and fall asleep, his furry body blending in with the tree bark, protected from any harm.
Maybe Mr Nottingham is the main character who is an adventurer. He travels to different places in the stories, meets new friends and foes alike. His character might be designed to inspire children, showing them how to be brave and curious in the face of the unknown.
Perhaps Mr Mike is the author or storyteller of these not - so - popular bedtime stories. Maybe he has a unique style that doesn't appeal to the general audience of bedtime story listeners.
