Harry's mum can't sleep, so she asks him to help her. She lies down and he begins to tell her the story about a boy and his dog. Suddenly, his mum remembers that she hasn't written a note for tomorrow's groceries, that she hasn't put the food in the fridge and that she hasn't washed the dishes! Harry, however, does not let her get up and insists that she must close her eyes to fall asleep.
