Something was pounding against the window in Scott's bedroom. Scott buried himself deep under his blanket. He was too scared to call out to his parents. Scott trembled as much as the window shook. Scott thought, What can that be? The thing hit the window again. Scott breathed a little bit heavier. Okay, it cannot be that bad. It has not broken through the window yet. Maybe, it wants me to just look at it, wondered Scott. Shaking with fear, he tried to look at the window through the tiny opening in his blanket. Scott could not make his eyes look in that direction. Suddenly, Scott thought about his favorite superhero. This is not how Mighty Man would act. He would face his fears, thought Scott. Scott took a deep breath and pulled the blanket aside. He looked at the window. There, at the window, was a tree branch beating against the glass. After all that time, Scott was only afraid of a tree branch. He could not help but smile. What is the moral of the story above?

The scariest things may not be as frightening as they seem.

Parents should make sure that nothing frightens their kids.

Tree branches can pound against windows during the night.

Hiding underneath a big blanket is the best way to hide.
