Once upon a time, in the heart of a quiet forest, there lived a little squirrel named Sammy. Sammy was no ordinary squirrel; he had a knack for storytelling that made all the animals gather around him every evening.

Sammy's favorite time of day was just before bedtime when the golden sun would dip below the horizon, and the stars would begin to twinkle in the sky. The animals knew it was storytime when they heard Sammy’s cheerful voice calling out, “Gather ‘round, my friends! Let me tell you something magical!”

One evening, as the moonlight filtered through the leaves, Sammy began his tale. "Long ago," he said, "there was a tiny bird who couldn’t fly very high. He felt sad because he couldn’t join his friends in soaring across the skies. But one day, while sitting on a branch, he noticed how beautiful the flowers looked from above. So, instead of focusing on what he couldn’t do, he decided to appreciate what he could see."

The animals listened intently, their eyes wide with wonder. "This little bird realized that everyone has their own special way of shining," continued Sammy. "Some can fly high, some can dig deep into the earth, and others can leap far. What matters most is finding your own spark and sharing it with the world."

As the story ended, the animals clapped their paws and tails, grateful for the lesson. They thanked Sammy and promised to remember his words whenever they felt discouraged.

From that night on, each animal found new ways to shine—whether it was through singing sweet melodies, dancing gracefully under the moonlight, or simply being kind to others. And so, life in the forest became even more harmonious and joyful.

With a final wave goodbye, Sammy scurried back to his cozy nest, ready for a peaceful sleep under the watchful gaze of the stars.

And now, dear friend, it’s your turn to rest. Close your eyes and let the warmth of this story linger in your heart. Goodnight!

I hope you enjoyed this gentle tale. Sweet dreams!
