Once upon a time there was a family of balloons - daddy balloon, mummy balloon and baby balloon. And the time came when the parent balloons decided that baby balloon needed to sleep in his own bed, as he was getting too big to come into their bed at night.
So one night mummy balloon tucked baby balloon in his own bed, and told him lovingly but firmly that he was not to come into mummy and daddy balloons' bed that night.
In the night, baby balloon woke up, and wanted to get into his parents' bed. So he crept quietly into their room, and tried to climb in between them. But there wasn't room. So he thought for a bit, and then he quietly undid the knot on daddy balloon and let a bit of air out. Then he tried to squeeze in - but there still wasn't room. So he undid the knot on mummy balloon and let some air out. Then he tried to squeeze in - but the gap was just too small. So he undid the knot on himself, and let some air out of himself. Now he was small enough to fit in, so he climbed in between his parents. But in doing so, he woke mummy and daddy balloon up. Daddy balloon asked what had happened, and baby balloon shamefacedly told them.
Daddy balloon was cross.
He said: 'I'm very disappointed in you, baby balloon. Not only have you let me and your mother down, but you've let yourself down too!'
