3-Year-Old Girl Cries Claiming a Monster Is Under Her Bed, Mom Decides to Check – Story of the Day
Samantha, a single mother and children’s book author, is used to her 3-year-old daughter Julia waking up at night with wild stories—especially since moving her to her own room. Lately, Julia’s been afraid of a “monster” under her bed.
One night, as Samantha writes late into the night, she hears Julia crying again—only this time, she also sees something run across the room. Alarmed, she investigates with a mix of fear and suspicion.
When she finally looks under the bed, ready for anything, she discovers not a monster—but a tiny, frightened puppy nestled under an old blanket.
Samantha quickly pieces together the truth: her 9-year-old son Jacob, heartbroken after she refused to let him adopt a puppy, must have secretly brought it home.
After a heartfelt talk and an apology, Julia joyfully declares the puppy her “protector,” turning her fears into newfound friendship.
