Boris was here.

Boris?

Who's Boris?

He's a big black bear

from the woods
of Gleep Sneep,

who knows ever so much

about going to sleep.

Maybe we could
go visit him?

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do!

Mom, can Nick and I
go to the

woods of Gleep Sneep to
meet Boris the Bear?

Gleep Sneep, you say?

Okay, but don't
be gone long.

The sooner you go to sleep,

We can go!
