It's nine o'clock in the evening, but Alfons doesn't want to go to bed. His father reads a fairytale about a horse. Alfons suddenly realizes he hasn't brushed his teeth and goes up to do that. He then feels thirsty and after drinking he realizes he has spilled, and his father has to clean up. He then needs to pee, and his father has to bring a pot.

Alfons then says there's a lion inside the wardrobe and his father has to go looking, and says lions usually aren’t in wardrobes. Alfons then wants his Teddy Bear. His father searches the bathroom and then finds it under the couch. When he hasn't come back Alfons finds his father sleeping in the floor with the Teddy Bear next to him. Alfons covers his father with a duvet and then goes back to bed and falls asleep.
