Story Summary

A little boy named Dick was scared of nighttime noises. He could never fall asleep because of strange sounds he would hear, convinced it was a monster lurking in the dark.

One night he decided he had had enough and, with his teddy bear named Fred, decided to find out what was making all the racket!

What he discovered was someone not very scary at all and who was a lot like him. Someone just as scared of the noises in the night—someone who was looking for a safe place to stay and maybe a friend or two.
