Story
The garden was quiet as the sun began to set. Bumble the Bunny looked up and saw the first twinkle of the stars. “Let’s find out where the moon sleeps,” Bumble said to his friend Squeak the Squirrel.
The Moon’s Gentle Glow
Squeak nodded, his tail swishing with excitement. “I think the moon is just waking!” he said. The two friends hopped and scurried through soft, dewy grass, their hearts filled with wonder. The moonlight painted the garden in silver, and every tree seemed to whisper secrets.
A Magical Pathway
As they followed a path of sparkling stones, Bumble saw a little flower shimmering with light. “Hello, little flower,” Bumble said. The flower giggled and replied, “The moon’s light makes me glow!” Bumble and Squeak laughed, feeling the magic around them.
Discovering Moon’s Secrets
The friends reached a small pond under the starry sky. “Look, Bumble,” Squeak pointed. The moon’s reflection danced on the water. “The moon has a twin!” Bumble exclaimed. They watched as the moon’s gentle light mingled with the stars, feeling as though they were in a dream.
The end.
