Andy never wanted to go to bed on time. His parents had explained to him how important it was to go to bed early and get a good rest. But Andy paid no attention to them, and they didn't know what to do until one weekend when they were visiting Andy's grandparents.
Grandpa Peter heard all about it and said, "This sounds like a job for Tubby." They loaded the cat onto the car and returned home.
That night, at bedtime, the same problem arose. Andy didn't want to go to bed, and even though his parents waited a while to see if Tubby would solve the problem, nothing happened. Andy's father began to complain.
Hours later, Andy finally decided to go to bed. But what a surprise when he entered his bedroom! Tubby was in his bed, pot-belly in the air, sound asleep.
Andy tried to move the cat, but there was no way. That night he hardly slept, lying on one tiny corner of his bed.
The next day the same thing happened, even though Andy was much more tired from not having slept. When the third day arrived, he had understood that if he wanted to sleep in his bed, he would have to get into it before Tubby did. That night, when his parents only started hinting (暗示) at the topic of bedtime, Andy rushed upstairs and dived into bed. His parents couldn't believe it. They knew nothing about Tubby in the bed, nor did they understand why Andy went to bed on time, without complaint. They were so happy about this that they stayed up quite late, celebrating.
