Cuby the cube was a small, bright blue cube. He loved bedtime, but he was a little scared of the dark. Every night, he sat on his bedside table, looking at his special bedtime story cube. It was a wooden cube with pictures of stars, moons, and friendly animals on each side.
One night, as Cuby was staring at the cube, something amazing happened! The picture of the friendly fox on one side began to glow. With a soft *pop*, Cuby felt himself shrinking, and he tumbled right into the picture!
He found himself in a beautiful forest, filled with twinkling fireflies and giant mushrooms. A little bunny rabbit with bright pink ears hopped up to him. "Hello!" she squeaked. "Welcome to the Story Cube world!"
The bunny explained that each side of the cube was a different part of the magical land. The brave little lion on another side guarded a shimmering river, and the wise old owl on a different side could tell the best stories. Cuby felt a little nervous, but the bunny reassured him. "Don't worry," she said. "You're brave enough!"
Together, Cuby and the bunny went on an adventure. They crossed the shimmering river with the help of the brave lion, who was surprisingly friendly and gentle. The wise old owl told them enchanting tales of other brave cubes who had explored the Story Cube world. Cuby listened carefully and learned a lot about different animals and places.
As the sun began to rise, painting the sky with beautiful colors, Cuby and the bunny returned to the glowing fox picture. Cuby felt a little sad to be leaving his new friend, but he knew he'd visit again soon. With another *pop*, he was back on his bedside table, feeling much bigger and braver.
Cuby realised that even though he was scared of the dark, he had been incredibly brave inside the Story Cube world. He'd made a new friend and learned so much. He snuggled into his bed, feeling warm and safe, knowing that even a little cube like him could have big adventures in his imagination, all thanks to his special bedtime story cube.
