A tall, thin man stands by Mia's door in the dark. When she turns on the light, it is only a coat, and she gives it a name and a hat.
It is night. Mia is in bed.
She looks at the door.
A tall, thin man is there!
He does not move.
Mia can not sleep.
She gets up and turns on the light.
It is a coat on a hook!
“Hello, Tom,” said Mia.
She puts a hat on Tom.
Tom looks funny in the hat.
Mia grins and gets in bed.
“Good night, Tom,” said Mia.
