Once upon a time, in a town where all the vehicles were friendly, there lived a small blue car named Little Blue. Little Blue loved driving and playing all day. But as the sky turned soft shades of orange and pink, Little Blue's engine started to feel a gentle, sleepy hum. It was getting late, and Little Blue knew it was almost time for little cars to rest for the night.
Little Blue decided he wanted to say goodnight to his friends before going home. He drove slowly and quietly along the road, enjoying the cool evening air. Saying goodnight to his friends was a special part of his bedtime winding down.
He saw his friend, Friendly Red Truck, parked near the park, his heavy work finished for the day. "Goodnight, Red Truck!" beeped Little Blue softly. Red Truck rumbled a quiet 'Goodnight!' Then Little Blue saw Quiet Yellow Bus, parked outside the school, empty and ready for sleep. "Goodnight, Yellow Bus!" whispered Little Blue with a soft 'toot toot'. Yellow Bus blinked a headlight in return.
Further on, Little Blue spotted Sleepy Green Tractor resting in the field. "Goodnight, Green Tractor!" called Little Blue quietly. Tractor settled deeper into the grass, already dreaming of fields. Now, Little Blue needed to get clean for bed. He drove to the gentle car wash. Swishy brushes and warm water made him sparkle. Whooshing fans dried him off, feeling fresh and clean.
Feeling clean and cozy, Little Blue drove slowly home to his garage. The road was peaceful under the soft glow of the streetlights. He felt warm and safe. He drove right into his special parking spot inside the dark, quiet garage.
Little Blue settled down. He turned off his engine and his headlights. He felt safe and warm. He closed his little car eyes. All was quiet. He took a gentle, sleepy breath through his exhaust pipe. He was home, clean, and ready for a long, peaceful sleep, dreaming of happy drives tomorrow. Goodnight, Little Blue Car. Sleep tight.
