A Sleepless Night (Hero Stories)

It was a quiet night in the Smurf Village and all the Smurfs were sleeping. Hero and Wonder were sleeping in their cosy bed before they were suddenly awoken by the sound of their crying baby.

"She must be hungry" Wonder yawned.

"Yeah" Hero yawned, "I'll feed her".

Hero got out his bed and headed for his daughter's crib.

"Come on Saviour" he said quietly, as he slowly picked her up and headed downstairs.

He placed her into a high chair and got a bottle of milk from one of the cupboards, used his energy to slightly heat it up, tested the temperature of the milk to make it was safe for her to drink before placing a sucker on it.

"Feeding time little one" Hero said, before taking Saviour from the high chair, sitting in a rocking chair and began feeding her.

He began to rock the chair back and forth slowly as he fed her. He noticed that she was drinking it rather quickly.

"Heh! You must be really thirsty" Hero said, before he began slowly patting her back causing her to burp.

Hero soon noticed it was time for something else.

"Heh! Time for a didey change" he said.

He placed her on the changing table, got a fresh didey from the cupboard and began changing her.

As he was changing her, Wonder came downstairs.

"I guess she also needed her didey changed?" she asked.

Hero turned round and seen her.

"Yeah!" he said, "I didn't notice she needed it until after I fed her".

He soon put the fresh didey on, quickly disposed of the used one and put her sleeper back on.

"Time for bed" he yawned.

Wonder smiled as they headed back upstairs, put Saviour to bed and soon went back to sleep.

...

The next morning, most of the Smurfs noticed Hero looked rather tired, he slept right through breakfast.

"Hero! Are you okay?" Smurfette asked.

"This smurf is just tired Smurfette! I had to feed and change Saviour's didey during the night" Hero said.

"Don't forget Hero!" Papa said, "You and Wonder will have to smurf that for the next 99 years".

As soon as Hero heard this, he hit his head on the table and fell asleep.
