Every night, when the lights went off, Leo saw a big, scary shadow in the corner of his room.
Tonight, Leo decided to find out what it was. He took his little flashlight, held his teddy bear tight, and tiptoed toward the corner.
Click! He turned on the flashlight — and what did he see? It was only his jacket hanging on the chair, with his baseball cap on top!
"Oh, it's just you," Leo laughed. Teddy seemed to laugh too. Suddenly the room didn't feel scary at all.
"From now on," said Leo, "when I see a shadow, I'll take a deep breath and check what it really is." That is what real heroes do.
Leo climbed back into bed, put the flashlight next to his pillow, and fell fast asleep. Good night, little hero.
