Story
Once upon a time, in a cozy forest, there lived a little bunny named Luna. She had a special friend, an owl named Stardust, who always had wonderful stories to share. One night, as the moon shone brightly, Luna noticed a missing moonbeam. “Where did it go?” she wondered.
The missing moonbeam
Determined to find it, Luna hopped over to Stardust, who perched on an old oak tree. “I saw a moonbeam sparkle away!” Luna exclaimed. Stardust nodded wisely and spread his wings. “We must find the moonbeam before the night ends,” he said.
A journey under the stars
Together, they set off beneath the twinkling sky. As they walked, they met a star named Twinkle, who loved to giggle and dance. “I’ll help you find the moonbeam!” Twinkle chimed, lighting their path with her bright glow.
The moonbeam’s secret hiding spot
The trio wandered through the forest, following the soft whisper of the wind. Finally, they reached a sparkling meadow where the moonbeam had hidden, dancing with the fireflies. “We found it!” Luna cheered, her heart full of joy.
The end.
