"Mum, can I sleep in your bed tonight with you and Dad?"
"Not tonight, Amy, your father is up early tomorrow."
"Aww, Mum!"
"Look, here's Edward Bear for you to sleep with."
"I don't like him anymore."
"Amy! He's been your favourite for years, and Daddy bought that medical kit for him yesterday so now he's Doctor Edward Bear."
"I don't like him."
Amy's mother kissed Amy on the forehead and left her bedroom.
Amy pulled her duvet up, covering her face.
Edward Bear opened the medical kit and selected the trepanning instrument.
For Amy, a boring night lay ahead.

    Nice pun at the end!! And a bear capable of trepanning sounds distinctly hideous!!! Great work.
