AS THE KIDS LISTENED TO THE STORY BEING READ, LITTLE DID THEY KNOW INSIDE BARNEY WAS DEAD. SANTA CLAUS DOESN'T STOP FOR DINOSAURS, YOU SEE. ESPECIALLY IMAGINARY ONES YOU SEE ON TV. AS VISIONS OF SUGAR PLUMS DANCE IN THEIR HEADS, BARNEY WOULD KILL THEM ALL IN THEIR BEDS. EXCEPT THE PARENTS OF COURSE, THEM BARNEY DID NOT SLAY. BECAUSE ONCE ALL THE KIDS WERE DEAD... HE FADED AWAY.
