Night, night, Atty!

Once there was a lazy little sloth who was tickled by a moth. The moth kept buzzing 'round his face until it found a better place. It landed on the sloth's back, then creeping up its hairy neck.

Mother Sloth said: "It's time to sleep, so Atty now start counting sheep!" But Atty could not really rest, this pesky moth was such a pest. The lively moth just flapped her wings as she had plans for other things.

Atty's tiny claws began to scratch until he made the final catch. Laughing the moth flew off the tree. "I will be back, you can count on me!" Atty tried to settle down. "You will learn to live with them," said Mother with a frown.

Then Atty snuggled in at last on his mother's warming chest. "Time to sleep now, Atty dear. I'll look after you, have no fear."

So it's good night, Atty, sweet dreams - and that is it for today. Tomorrow there's more time to play.
