Paul was teaching late at night in an upstairs room. He talked and talked until midnight!
A young man named Eutychus was sitting in a window. He got so sleepy that he fell asleep and fell out of the window, three floors down!
Everyone thought he was dead. But Paul ran down, hugged him, and said, “Don't worry, he's alive!” Then they went back upstairs, ate, and Paul kept talking until morning!
