Once upon a time, there was a young boy with an enormous wail. The boy’s name was Nathaniel. The wail didn’t have a name.
When the wail showed up in Nathaniel’s house, his parents said, “No! This is a very small house. There’s no room for you, wail.” But the wail liked Nathaniel, and Nathaniel liked his wail. The wail had nowhere else to go, so Mom and Dad just had to make room.
The wail followed Nathaniel everywhere he went. The wail was there in the car when Nathaniel rode in his car seat. The wail went shopping with the family when Nathaniel was riding in the shopping cart. The wail sat at the table with the family when Nathaniel was sitting in his high chair.
But when Nathaniel fell asleep, the wail vanished!
...And the sleeping boy dreamed of swimming in the ocean all night with his whale.
The End.
