The Tale of Efe Who Doesn't Sleep 🥱

 Efe did not like to sleep at night. 

"I don't want to sleep mommy!" 

she was saying. 

His mother said, “Why don't you want to sleep?” 

he asked, “Because I want to sit at night like owls.” 

she said. 

“Or wandering in our garden at night like hedgehogs.” 

“I gave up, I gave up… I want to climb trees at night like raccoons. 

“Efe thought for a while, thought. 

He changed his mind again: “No… No…” I want to run through the night like a fox.” 

He started running around his room. 

His mother said, “But you are neither an owl, a hedgehog, a raccoon, nor a fox, my dear Efe.” 

she said. 

"That's why you need to sleep." 

she added.


His mother put Efe on his bed and left the room, Efe carried his toys next to his bed. 

She started playing with them. 

She was quite sleepy, but she didn't want to sleep. 

Efe played with his toys all night long.


The sun was about to rise now, and she fell asleep from exhaustion. 

His cousin Gülşah came to see Efe in the morning. 

"Come on Efe, wake up, I'm here, wake up sleepy, let's play!" 

she said. 

But Efe was sleeping so deeply that he could not open his eyes. 

At noon, he came to see his grandfather Efe. 

“Come on, Efe, wake up, it's noon. 

The weather is beautiful too. 

Let's go to the park with you." 

she said. 

But Efe was sleeping so deeply that his eyes were on her.

could not open. 

He came to see his grandmother Efe in the afternoon. 

She had baked delicious cookies. 

"Come on Efe, wake up, I brought you cookies." 

she said. 

But Efe was sleeping so deeply that he could not open his eyes.


Efe could only wake up in the evening, as he spent the night without sleep. 

His mother told Efe that Gülşah, her grandfather and grandmother had been trying to wake her up all day long. 

Efe was upset because he could not see his cousin, grandfather and grandmother. 

Better to play games during the day and see my loved ones, she thought. 

He went to his dog Kirpik, who was getting ready to sleep in his corner, and hugged him. "I will sleep and rest like you at night, Kirpik." 

she said. 

Kirpik replied to Efe by saying woof, as if in agreement.


After that day, Efe always slept on time. “Good night, Efe!”
