midnight
So the Stable boys stumbled sleepily back to their own quarters , and Akela tucked each of them up in his blankets . A quarter of an hour later everyone was asleep . As Akela crept softly round she could only hear the regular breathing of sound sleepers . True , at midnight Patsy made some loud conversation , and thought he could do without any blankets at all , but he did not wake up even then , and was soon tucked up quietly again . So ended the First Day . The sun has already been up some time when the first Cub wakes up and wonders where he is . Finding he is in camp , he feels sure it would be a good turn if he thumped the sleeping form next him and woke him up , that he , too , may have the delight of remembering that `` to-morrow '' has actually come -- the first real day in camp !
