Billy.
Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy!
I get to go to Mandy's house!
I run over, screaming.
This is great!
I haven't seen Mandy for…
How long?
Oh yeah!
Two hours!
I burst in the door.
There! The stairs!
Up I go.
There! Her door!
In I go!
"Mandy! Guess what!
I got a stick…"
She doesn't say anything.
She's not on her bed.
She's on the floor!
Sleeping!
"Hey…
Mandy, you know you shouldn't sleep on the floor.
You should sleep on the table!"
She doesn't wake up.
"Mandy?"
Still asleep.
"MANDY!"
She has to wake up!
Has to!
Who will play with me?
Well there's Irwin…
But he's not Mandy!
I shake her.
"Come on, Mandy!"
She's cold…
"Did you have too much ice cream?"
She still won't wake up.
Why?
Why won't she play with me?
Doesn't she care?
I run over to the door.
"Come on Mandy, we have to…
hey, are you listening?"
She just lies there, one the floor.
"Wow, you must be pretty tired, huh?"
I lift her onto the bed,
So maybe she'll have a nap
And come play with me when she's done!
I'll come back and try again.
Tomorrow.
