Plot
A boy decides to sleep in one day, extolling his deep pillow and warm bed. He boasts that nothing his family, his neighbors, the police, the news media or the U.S. Marines can do will rouse him, especially with a variety of noisemakers. In the end, his family realizes that he is serious and give his breakfast egg (which he earlier suggested giving back to the hen) to the lone responding policeman, who gladly and immediately eats it on the bedroom floor.
