Hi Aavya, the dark can look like a tiger. Little Krishna saw a shape in the corner and thought an animal was waiting. He went closer. It was his own stick. He lifted a small lamp. The room was the same room. Aavya, the dark is the room you already know, with the light turned down. The stick is still a stick.

Should I leave a light on?
A small lamp is enough. A bright room makes it harder to sleep after the story.
What if they call me back?
Go back once, show the same corner, and say the last line again. A new scary story will not help.
Is the story frightening?
No animal appears. The shape is a stick. It is told to make the room familiar.
