Once upon a time, in a field of soft green grass, lived a little lamb named Fluffy. Fluffy loved to play all day long. He chased butterflies, hopped over rocks, and played hide-and-seek with his woolly friends. But when the sun began to set, and the sky turned a beautiful shade of orange and purple, Fluffy would get a little scared.
Fluffy didn't like the dark. He thought that scary shadows hid behind every tree and bush. So, every night, he would try to stay awake as long as possible, even when his eyelids felt heavy and his legs felt wobbly.
One night, as the stars began to twinkle, Fluffy's mama noticed him yawning. "It's time for bed, my little lamb," she said softly. "But Mama," Fluffy bleated, "I don't want to go to sleep! It's too dark!" Mama Lamb smiled and nuzzled Fluffy close. "The dark isn't scary, my dear. It's just the absence of light. Close your eyes, and you'll see a whole new world of dreams and adventures."
Fluffy snuggled into his cozy bed of hay. Mama Lamb tucked him in with a warm blanket and kissed him goodnight. Hesitantly, Fluffy closed his eyes. At first, all he saw was darkness. But then, slowly, shapes and colors began to appear. He saw fluffy white clouds, sparkling stars, and a friendly moon smiling down at him.
Fluffy found himself floating on a big, fluffy cloud. He soared through the night sky, past twinkling stars and a friendly, smiling moon. He even saw other little lambs sleeping soundly on their own clouds, dreaming their own sweet dreams. It was magical!
When the sun peeked over the horizon, Fluffy opened his eyes. He felt rested and happy. The scary shadows were gone, replaced by the warm glow of the morning sun. "Mama, I had the best dream!" he exclaimed. "The dark wasn't scary at all!"
From that day on, Fluffy was no longer afraid of the dark. He learned that bedtime wasn't something to be feared, but a time to rest, dream, and prepare for a brand new day of adventures. And every night, as he snuggled into his bed of hay, he looked forward to the magical world that awaited him in his dreams.
