Story
One night, as the sky turned a deep blue, Fluffy the cloud floated gently across the sky. Beside him was Twinkle, the curious star, who danced around, sparkling with excitement. “Look,” said Twinkle, pointing to the moon. “Moonbeam looks very sleepy tonight!”
A sleepy moon in need
“Oh dear,” said Fluffy, “if Moonbeam can’t shine, the night won’t be as bright and beautiful.” Twinkle nodded and said, “Let’s help him, Fluffy!” So, with a gentle puff of air, Fluffy carried Twinkle closer to Moonbeam.
A gentle hug of light
As they reached Moonbeam, Fluffy wrapped him in a soft, fluffy hug. Twinkle twinkled brightly, sending a sprinkle of starlight over Moonbeam. Slowly, Moonbeam began to wake up, glowing softly.
The moon’s bright smile
“Thank you, dear friends,” Moonbeam said with a smile. “Your kindness has made me shine again.” Fluffy and Twinkle giggled, feeling happy that they could help their friend. Together, they made the night sky sparkle with joy.
The end.
