Daddy was seTtling his childRen into bed for the night. This was after he'd heard them read from their school reading books. "Now it's time for me to read a story to you", he said. There was a bit of an argie-bargie about which story and whether it should be short or long. They finally agreed on "Fox in Socks". By now, Daddy had become quite slick at reading the tongue-twister and all the children loved it, even the youngest of them. "Be a sport Dad - read it again", said the oldest. Daddy sighed and started again. But within two minutes there was a snort as the youngest fell fast asleep. There was not much resistance from the children to Daddy stopping reading and kissing each child as they snuggled down to sleep.
