No monsters allowed

Lesley Ann Mascall

Nicky was four years old. He and his sisters went to the Christian Science Sunday School near where they lived. One day he didn't feel very well. His mummy had been sitting with him, but now she had gone into her room where she kept her Bible, and Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, and had begun to read.

When Nicky began crying because his tummy hurt and his head was hot, one of his sisters took him into his mummy's room. Nicky wanted to stay with his daddy and sisters, because they were having fun together watching a cartoon; he didn't want to feel sick.

His mummy asked Nicky, "Would you let a big bad monster into our house?" Of course he said no; not even if it kept knocking on the door to come in!
