"Jericho"

Once there was a man named Jericho,

Who sleeps at his couch.

He was dreaming, untill someone came in and scared him.

Jericho said, "What are you doing in my house"

The guy said, "I don't know. I was bringing your mail." He gave the mail to Jericho and left.

Jericho was asleep and he was dreaming...

He WAS dreaming until another person came in.

It was Mrs. Moon, his neighbor, holding a picnic basket.

"What are you doing in my house?" asked Jericho.

Mrs. Moon said, "I was bringing some food to you. Sorry to wake you." She gave him her basket and left.

Jericho said, "If I get bothered one more time, I will scream."

So he went back to sleep.

Then he was dreaming, until someone...

SOMEONE came in.

Jericho screamed, and the guy left.

So, Jericho said one thing before he went back to sleep:

"If I want to go to sleep, I don't want no one bothering me."

THE END
