The Erlee Riser
Erlee the bird thought he was an early riser and couldn't wait to be the first one in line when the local WeHop eatery announced it was offering free Saturday morning breakfasts for all the young birds and owls.
Upon hearing the good news about free breakfasts, the youngsters started tweeting each other about how exciting it would be, seeing the pancakes flipping, hearing the toasters popping, and smelling the bacon sizzling in the air.
On the first Saturday morning, as Erlee the bird arrived for breakfast, he was shocked to see Wisee the wise owl standing first in line.
"I thought owls were late sleepers, because my friend Sleepee the owl says there's nothing like staying up all night, gaming and sleeping in late," Erlee said to Wisee.
"That's what everybody thinks of owls," replied Wisee.
"So how do you get up so early?" asked Erlee.
"That's a secret you'll have to figure out, because you'll have to get up early, Erlee, to beat me in line," Wisee chuckled.
"Next Saturday, I'm going to be the first one in line!" declared Erlee.
After eating breakfast, Erlee went back home and decided to work on a wake-up routine that he could practice during the week, to see how early he could get up before the next Saturday.
On the first try, Erlee thought it would be easy to have Roscoe the rooster wake him up early by cockling and doodling after the crack of dawn. However, Roscoe never used an alarm clock and kept winging the wake-up time, causing Erlee to get up late.
On the second try, Erlee thought it would be easier to wake up early by getting his own alarm clock and setting the wake-up time for the crack of dawn. However, Erlee kept hitting the snooze button after the alarm went off, causing him to over-sleep.
On the third try, Erlee thought the easiest way to wake up early was having his mom wake him up before the crack of dawn. However, Erlee kept rolling over and going back to sleep after telling his mom he was awake, and once again, he got up late.
Figuring out a wake-up routine was becoming harder than Erlee originally thought, because he kept tossing and turning all night, thinking about getting up early.
"I've got to come up with something new, because I'm getting bags under my eyes from not getting enough sleep!" said a tired Erlee.
Erlee thought the best thing to do was to get some advice. He decided to hop online between the power poles and chat with some friends about how they get to sleep early.
Dirtee the bird chatted that his favorite thing before bedtime was taking a hot birdbath and then hopping in his pajamas. Slider the eider chatted that his favorite thing during bedtime was sliding under a comforter and then winding down with a bedtime story. Starla the starling chatted that her favorite thing after bedtime was counting the stars in the night sky and then falling fast asleep.
After all the electrifying chatter, Erlee went back home to think about all the new things he had heard. He decided to work on a bedtime routine that he could practice the rest of the week to see how early he could get up before next Saturday.
The next Saturday morning at the WeHop, Wisee the wise owl arrived to take his place as the first one in line for breakfast but was shocked to see Erlee the bird standing first in line.
"I thought early birds never got up before roosters!" Wisee said to Erlee.
"That's what everybody thinks of early birds," replied Erlee.
"So how did you get up earlier than the rooster?" asked Wisee.
"That's a secret you'll have to figure out, because you'll have to get wise, Wisee, to beat me in line," Erlee chuckled.
Erlee was the first one hopping out of the WeHop after eating breakfast, all bright-eyed and feathery-tailed, when he saw his friend Sleepee the owl, who was hopping in line, late as usual.
"I can't believe you were the early riser today!" shouted Sleepee as he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"I finally beat Wisee the wise owl in line!" Erlee gleefully said, while
