For a few moments he stood there h ard ly kn ow in g what to do, for he had been put to bed once, and w ou ld these grow n -up peo ple understand w hy he didn ’t stay there? Th en Grandm other glan ced up as she turned a page, and saw him . “ W h a t’s the matter, D an n y ?” she asked sympathetically, and D anny cam e in to the room. “ T h e dark is so b ig ,” he tried to explain. “ M oth er always leaves a light, and . . . and I can’t g o to sleep.” D o you suppose G randm other could rem ember any experience o f her ow n w ith “ b ig darkness” ? I w onder— for she laid d ow n her book and took D anny on her knee. “ D anny, do.you rem ember the story I told you w hen you w ent to bed? Do you remember that Moses’ m other left her baby out in the river in a basket and she w ent back hom e because she knew that God takes care o f little boys w hen n ob od y else is there? God is w ith y ou in the dark, D anny, and if the room seems big, rem ember He is b igg er than the darkness.

M y h elp cometh from the Lord, w h ich m ade heaven and earth. He w ill not suffer thy foot to be m oved: he that keepeth thee w ill not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall n either slum ber nor sleep. T h e Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right- hand. T h e sun shall not sm ite thee b y day, nor the m oon b y night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall pre serve thy soul. T h e Lord shall pre serve thy g oin g out and thy com in g in from this tim e forth, and even for everm ore’ ” (Psa. 121). D anny didn ’t understand all of it, but he discovered that for some strange reason his little b od y relaxed and he yawned. G randm other took h im b y the hand and led h im back to bed. Once m ore tucked in, he was soon fast asleep. In the days that follow ed , G rand m other and D anny read the w onder fu l old Psalm over m any, m any times, until D anny learned it b y heart. A n d w hen M oth er was w ell and D anny w ent home, he never again wanted the ligh t left on when he w en t to sleep, for, he explained, “ God is real in the dark.”
