Jana couldn’t wait to hear Dad’s next story. But that night, Mom put Jana into bed
instead. “Dad is sick,” Mom told Jana. “But I can tell you a story if you want me
to.” So Mom told Jana a story but it wasn’t the same. She felt sad. She didn’t want
Dad to be sick, and she missed story time with Dad. She thought maybe Dad
missed story time, too. This gave her an idea. Jana hopped out of bed. She went
to Dad’s room. She knocked on his door. “Come in,” Dad said. When Jana opened
the door, Dad smiled weakly. “I’m sorry. I’m going to miss story time tonight.”
Jana sat on Dad’s bed. “No you won’t. I’m going to tell you a story.” So Jana told
Dad a story about a castle, a dragon, and a princess. Dad loved the story and he
fell asleep with a smile on his face. “Get well quickly, Dad,” Jana whispered.
