We all get tired when night comes. Then
we need to sleep. That is why we need beds. But not all beds are the same. There
are many kinds of beds. One kind of bed is the bunk bed. Bunk
beds are two beds placed one on top of the other. This kind of bed doesn't take
as much room as two beds side by side. It's a nice way to sleep if two or more
children are sleeping in the same room. That is why families with many children
use them. A water bed can be a lot of fun. It is a very big bag
that's filled with water. The water can be made nice and warm. You move up and
down as the water moves. It's something like being on a boat. It rocks you to
sleep. A cot is a very light bed. When it's not being used, you
can fold it up and put it out of the way. Then you can take it out again when
you need it. You can use it for a friend. A cot is just right for someone who is
sleeping over, In some places people sleep on mats. The mats are
made of long pieces of grass. People take them out at night on the floor. In the
morning people take them up off the floor and roll them up. Think of how much
room a house has with no beds!
