14. Simon's Bed Sheet Tent

Chapter 14: Simon's Bed Sheet Tent

When Simon was done arranging the bed sheets the way he wanted to, he showed the others what he had made. It looked like a castle to the other chipmunks, but it wasn't. The bed sheets were all dangling from the hooks on the ceiling, but the other edges of the bed sheets were spread out and tucked into the sides of the bed. Alvin, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor were amazed with what Simon had done.

"Simon, what is this thing?" Alvin asked wanting to know exactly what he was looking at.

"This, my friends, is something that will protect us from harm while we are sleep. The bed sheets are supported by the hooks on the ceiling, while the remaining parts of the bed sheets are tucked inside the sides of the mattress. If any object or insect tries to get in or falls on us, the sheets will prevent anything from injuring, landing on or entering where we are sleeping!" Simon explained, feeling happy with what he had made.

"So the sheets are like a force field protecting us?" Alvin asked to make sure he understood what his brother had told him. Simon thought for a minute and then went into more detail.

"Actually, it's not like the force fields you see in movies, Alvin. This is more of a bed sheet fortress, with each bed sheet overlapping the other ones. Kind of like a chipmunk-sized bed sheet castle, but with only one section to the castle," Simon explained more clearly so Alvin could understand.

"Or like a tent, but without camping!" Theodore commented with joy.

"That's right, Theodore. Just like a tent!" Simon replied smiling while putting an arm around his little brother's shoulder. Brittany looked at the bed sheet tent, and the n realized something.

"Wait a minute, Simon. If the sheet tent is supposed to keep things out, then how are we going to get inside and onto the bed?" she asked giving Simon one of her 'I'm not so sure this is a good idea' looks.

"No worries. All we have to do is get our bedding and pillows, I'll close up the sheet opening, and then we are ready!" Simon answered, happy that Brittany asked him that question.

"Also, since the bed sheets are being supported by the hooks, and the hooks are on the ceiling, air can still get through the top opening of our bed sheet tent so we will still be able to breathe!" Simon added so everyone knew that they would still get air while inside the tent. At this point, everyone was really amazed by Simon's bed sheet tent idea; he had truly outdone himself this time.

Way to go Simon! Thank you for reading and Read and review please.
