"My poor fraidy cats, have no
fear, I'll make those strange
night sounds disappear.
So Tilly turned out the tap at
the sink, turned that tap tight
so there'd be no more drip."
Drip.
"Tilly turned off the lamp
with a tiny little click.
Tilly turned down the blankets,
turned them down just right.
And Tilly turned to Kit and
said good night."
The end.
Look, Lisa, I turned the book
with a--
[Tap]
What more could a bear ask
for?
That book's not too big, is it?
I'm bigger.
Uh-huh.
Now read this.
Sorry, Corduroy.
Just one more story, please?
Come on, time for bed.
[Giggling]
No, another story, please?
Corduroy, we have to go to
sleep now, okay?
I don't want to go to sleep.
I'm big enough to stay up late.
Then you're big enough to
turn off the light.
Then I'll turn out the light
with a tiny little click.
Please don't turn off the
light.
Why?
Because--
Uh, because...
I'm going to read some more.
I'll read you that book
tomorrow night, promise.
See you in the morning,
Corduroy.

CORDUROY: Lisa!
Lisa!
Huh?
Corduroy, what's wrong?
Um, I'm thirsty.
What?
[Corduroy coughs]
I'm thirsty.
[Lisa yawns]
I'll be back with some water.
Hurry please.
Uh-huh.
[Corduroy gasps, wind howls]
Still up?
Just getting a drink of
water, Mom.
Okay, but back to bed with
you.
It's a school day tomorrow.
[Lisa yawns]
Yeah, I know.
See you in the morning.
Night.
[Lisa gasps]
Hi.
Corduroy, what are you doing
out of bed?
I wanted to make sure you
turned off the tap so there'd be
no more drip.
There.
No more drip, drip, dripping.
And there'll be no more play,
play, playing, Corduroy.
Let's go.
♪
[Corduroy gasps]
Something wrong?
Uh-uh.
Here's your water.
I thought you were thirsty.
Not anymore.
Well, alright.
Could you leave the light on?
I might get thirsty again.
If you get thirsty again, the
water is right here.
[Corduroy whimpering]
[Branches tapping, wind howling]
Lisa?
Lisa?
Huh?
Are you sleeping?
I was.
Um.
My pillow is lumpy.
Better?
Better.
Um, I'm cold.
Do you want another blanket?
Better?
Better.
Um, it's too warm now.
Corduroy, this isn't the
time for playing games.
I'm very tired.
[Siren]
[Corduroy gasps]
Corduroy, are you afraid of the
dark?
I'm not a fraidy cat!
It's okay to be afraid of the
dark.
I'm not afraid.
[Gasps]
Monster!
That's not a monster!
That shadow is you, Corduroy.
And that shadow is me.
Hi.
Hey!
[Giggling]
Shadows are fun.
See?
What's this.
A bunny rabbit!
And this?
It's a man with a big nose.
[Giggling]
[Chirping]
Monster!
There's a monster outside!
It's flying!
Close the window before it flies
inside!
Sometimes the dark can seem a
little scary, but there really
isn't anything to be afraid of.
I used to be afraid of the dark.
Really?
Really.
[Whimpering]
I would go under the covers and
hide from the dark.
Ah!
But you know what?
What?
It was dark under the covers
too, so I turned on my
flashlight.
Ah!
Sometimes my flashlight made
things even more spooky.
Huh?
Ah!
What did you do?
I told Mom.
She knew what to do.
I wish it wasn't so dark.
Close your eyes, Lisa.
Tell me what you see.
Nothing.
So with your eyes closed, you
see nothing, so you've got
nothing to be afraid of.
Is that how you stopped being
scared of the dark?
It helped a lot.
But Mom told me sometimes people
and animals are awake at night.
See that bat?
He's making scary noises.
He's so small!
Uh-huh.
And that small bat doesn't look
like he's afraid of the dark,
does he?
Uh-uh.
What are those bright lights?
Those must be stars!
The stars are up in the sky,
Corduroy.
Those are the lights from
buildings far away.
Doesn't everyone turn off
their lights at night?
When you live in the city,
there's always a light on.
[People saying hello]
See, some people are awake when
other people are asleep.
And some people are asleep when
other people are awake.
They don't look scared, do they?
I don't like being afraid of
the dark.
I don't like monsters and
night-time is when the monsters
come out.
So close your eyes.
Still see any monsters?
I don't see anything.
Better?
Better.
Do you want to sleep in my
bed?
It's okay if you want to.
Uh-uh.
I'm big enough to have my own
bed.
Then close your eyes,
Corduroy.
I've got a surprise for you.
You can open your eyes now.
This nightlight will stay on as
long as you need it.
Sweet dreams, Corduroy.
Lisa, what else do you do to
stop feeling afraid.
Are you still afraid?
A little bit.
Well, sometimes I sing a
song.
Real quiet, because I'm singing
just for myself.
Will you sing a song for me?
Sure.

Hello!
[Meowing]
I'll do your feet, and you do
mine.
Okay.
Now my turn.
Good.
Now we have to glue our names up
on top.
We'll need to cut out the
letters.
Oops.
It's hard cutting out my M.
Hey, where did you get those
scissors.
They look just like the pair I
thought I lost.
Really?
Um, uh--
Moppy, did you borrow my
scissors without asking.
No, I just found these.
Where?
I, uh--
--don't think I remember.
Moppy!
[Moppy gulps]
Let's go exploring!
Exploring?
Where?
In there.
What's in there?
I don't know.
That's why we have to explore!
Oh, I can't reach!
Saddle up, Corduroy.
[Giggling]
We did it!
Wow!
Come on.
How did my scissors end up in
your knapsack?
I don't don't know, I guess
I--
I'm hungry.
Are you hungry?
Moppy!
Maybe the Tooth Fairy put it
there.
Just tell me the truth,
Moppy.
Don't lie to me.
Lying?
Who, me?
If I'm lying Lisa, then I'll
wash my mouth out with soap.
[Corduroy struggling]
[Neighing]
It's a magic carpet!
Careful, Corduroy.
Oh, wait!
These towels are soft and
bouncy, so if you fall it won't
feel too ouchy.
Okay, thanks.
Look Buckaroo, more magic
carpets!
What's this?
I don't know.
This must be a parachute!
I've always wanted to go
parachuting!
Ooh, ooh, let me try!
[Buckaroo struggling]
What's that?
Maybe it's snow.
I always love to play in the
snow.
[Giggling]
Oh, what fun!
Let's go on a ride in the snow,
Buckaroo.
It'll be a sleigh ride.

Giddy up!
[Lisa gasps]
Corduroy!
Buckaroo!
What a mess!
What happened?
BOTH: Umm.
"Um" what?
Come on you two, help me clean
this up.
Boy, someone's going to be in
big trouble.
Bath towels need refolding, the
toilet paper needs rerolling.
Tell Lisa we made the mess.
She'll get mad.
Oh, but we've got to tell
her.
Come on, help me!
Mom will be coming home any
minute now.
What if we make up a story?
You mean lie?
Oh, I don't know.
That doesn't sound right.
Well?
Well--
Well, what happened?
[Cat meowing]
Uh, Corduroy and I, uh, we
were, uh--
We were--
We saw the cat in there.
Kit?
Uh-huh.
Kit came in through the window
and, uh, he wanted to play, so,
um--
Kit made this whole mess?
All by himself?
He's always been such a good
cat.
Uh, Kit saw Rosetta and he
chased after her but she got
away.
Well, cats do like to chase
mice.
Are you sure that's what
happened?
You two weren't messing around
in here, were you?
But I'm too small.
We can't jump, right Buckaroo?
See?
Rocking horse, not jumping
horse.
LISA: Oh no you don't, Kit.
Messy cats not allowed.
[Meowing]
I can't believe you lied to
Lisa, Corduroy.
We made the mess, not Kit.
Huh?
[Thunder]
Aren't you having any supper?
I don't feel very good.
Oh, my.
Lisa, open the door for Mrs.
Charles' cat, please.
But, Mom, he's such a naughty
cat.
It took me hours to clean up the
linen closet.
But the poor thing is getting
soaked outside.
Please, Lisa, can't Kit come
inside?
But you had to clean up Kit's
mess, too, Corduroy.
Please don't be mad at him.
Kit did mess up the closet,
didn't he?
Uh-huh.
Oh, all right.
Oh no!
Kit!
Kit, don't go there!
Oh!
Shoo, Kit.
Now you've got my quilt all wet.
No, I don't pet naughty cats.
You can go to the living room.
You heard me, go on.
Poor Kit.
He didn't do anything.
Hello.
My goodness, it is raining cats
and dogs, no?
[Laughing]
And there's one right now.
Why didn't Kit chase after
Rosetta?
Uh-oh.
And what is this?
That cat has never chased me.
But I don't get it.
Corduroy told me--
Corduroy!
I lied, Lisa!
I did it.
I messed up the closet!
I was there too.
But it was my idea to lie,
not Buckaroo's.
Well, I was not there and I
did not make any mess.
Shame on you!
Why didn't you tell me the
truth when I asked?
I was scared you'd get mad at
me.
But you made me think it was
all Kit's fault, and that wasn't
right.
Things get worse if you don't
tell the truth.
I'm sorry.
You should be saying sorry to
Kit, not me.
[Knock at the door]
MOM: Lisa, could you see who
that is, please?
Got it, Mom!
Well, Lisa, I washed my mouth
out with soap.
You didn't!
Moppy!
Fooled you!
It's just toothpaste.
Ugh.
That's enough lying for today.
Wait.
I borrowed your scissors without
asking.
I should have told you the truth
right away.
I guess it's no big deal.
No, it's a major big deal.
It was wrong for me to lie.
I'm really, really sorry, Lisa.
Look, I finished that poster.
Turn it over.
I wrote you something.
"One plus one is two, sorry I
lied to you. Two plus two equals
four, please don't be mad
anymore."
Do you like it?
Are you still mad?
Yes!
And no.
Scissors can be sharp, so you
always have to be careful.
That's right.
Now do you want me to help you
cut this out?
Can I try?
Sure.
I'm going to make a present
for Kit.
Sorry I got you into trouble,
Kit.
I'd be mad at me too.
[Meowing]
I'm sorry.
I'll never lie about anything
again.
Promise.
Tomorrow let's go exploring.
Or hide-and-seek is good.
We can draw or maybe walk around
the neighbourhood.
Or we can just sit and think
