sidi wants aref to put the zombie away.

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "Put him to bed" from Sidi, we analyze the context clues: "I don't like it" and "It scares me" show Sidi is uncomfortable with the zombie. The option "Sidi wants Aref to put the zombie away" aligns with wanting to remove the source of discomfort (the zombie). Other options (stop talking about, think zombie silly/tired) don't match the clues about dislike/fear.

Answer:

Sidi wants Aref to put the zombie away.
