"But Mama!" the little girl whines, "I don't want to go to sleep!"
"You have to," her mother says, "you've been up since this morning. It's time to sleep."
"No!" The little girl yells.
"Sarada . . ." her mother warns.
"Yes mama?" Sarada smiles innocently in her mother's arms.
"Sleep."
"No," Sarada crosses her arms, "Where's papa?"
"Work."
"Doesn't he have to sleep too?" Sarada asks.
"Papa is working on a very important case right now. You already know that," her mother explains.
"I can help!"
"No you can't," her mother sighs.
"Why not?"
"How about I tell you a story."
Sarada stares at her mother. "But."
"It's either that or sleep right now. No TV or anything else."
"Okay!" She says, "story time."
