Princess Jasmine loved bedtime. Every night, as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of orange and purple, she would snuggle into her soft bed, ready for a wonderful dream.
Tonight was special. Jasmine had a new nightlight – a little star-shaped lamp that glowed with a gentle, warm light. She gazed at it, feeling happy and safe.
As she closed her eyes, she drifted off to sleep. Suddenly, she found herself in a shimmering meadow, filled with flowers that glowed softly in the dark. Friendly fireflies zipped and zoomed around her, lighting her way.
A little bunny rabbit hopped towards her. It was a tiny, fluffy creature with bright, curious eyes. 'Hello!' squeaked the bunny. 'I'm Pip, and I'm lost.'
Jasmine felt a surge of kindness. 'Don't worry, Pip,' she said gently. 'I'll help you.' Together, they walked through the meadow, the fireflies guiding their way.
They met a grumpy hedgehog who had lost his favorite berry. Jasmine, remembering her own feelings when she'd lost a precious toy, felt empathy. She helped the hedgehog search and found his berry, making him smile.
Their journey led them to a crystal-clear stream. Pip pointed to a tiny, shivering bird clinging to a reed. It looked cold and scared. Jasmine, showing her bravery, carefully coaxed the bird onto her hand and warmed it with her gentle touch.
As the sun began to rise, painting the meadow in beautiful morning colors, Pip pointed toward a path. 'That's the way home!' he exclaimed. Jasmine felt a warm glow inside. She'd helped her friends, and in doing so, she had helped herself.
She hugged Pip goodbye, promising to visit again soon. Then, she woke up in her bed, the star-shaped lamp still glowing gently. She smiled, remembering her magical dream and the warm feeling of kindness, friendship, and bravery in her heart.
From that day on, Jasmine knew that even in her dreams, kindness could make a difference. And as she drifted off to sleep each night, she knew she could always be brave and believe in herself, just like she had been in her magical meadow.
