I’m Tom Stirling, and Robby Jones is my best friend. We’re at the same school – we’re classmates. I sometimes stay with Robby and I sleep in a bed in his room. 1..........  It’s one o’clock in the morning but Robby isn’t sleeping. He’s standing by the window. The moon is shining. Robby is looking into the garden and he is speaking. What is he doing? 2………. Now he’s walking out of the room and I’m following him. Where’s he going?

    We’re in the kitchen and Robby’s sitting at the table. His eyes are closed but he’s talking again. ‘Where’s your homework, Robby Jones? 3………. I’m not laughing. I want your homework. Now!’ Robby is speaking but the words are our teacher’s!

    Robby’s standing up and going back to his room. He’s walking past me but he can’t see me. 4………. He’s walking and talking in his sleep!
