The Night Before the Full Moon
Once upon a time, in a cozy little village nestled between rolling hills, there lived a curious little girl named Lily. Lily loved the moon, especially the full moon that came every month, casting a silver glow over the village.
One night, as Lily lay in her bed, looking up at the sky, she thought about the full moon and all the magic it held. She whispered to herself, “I wonder what the moon does every night when I’m asleep.”
Lily’s mother heard her and smiled. “Why don’t you go on an adventure with the moon tonight?” she suggested. “Just close your eyes and imagine you’re flying with it through the sky.”
With a big smile, Lily closed her eyes and imagined herself as a tiny, shimmering star, soaring through the cosmos. She felt the cool breeze brush against her face as she glided past the twinkling stars and the twinkling lights of the village below.
As she soared higher, she noticed a path of light leading to a magnificent palace floating in the sky. The palace was made of shimmering crystals, and it seemed to twinkle with its own light.
Lily landed gently on the palace steps and was greeted by a friendly, glowing moon. “Welcome, Lily,” the moon said. “I’ve been waiting for you. There’s a special surprise waiting for you inside.”
Lily followed the moon into the palace, where she was amazed to see a room filled with beautiful, glowing lanterns. Each lantern had a story to tell, and the moon was ready to share them with Lily.
The first lantern spoke of the moon’s journey across the sky, how it visited different lands and made wishes come true for the children who believed in it. The second lantern told of the moon’s dance with the sun, how they waltzed together in the sky, creating day and night.
As Lily listened, she felt a warm glow in her heart. She realized that the moon was not just a beautiful sight, but a guardian of dreams and wishes.
The moon then took Lily on a tour of the palace, showing her the room where wishes were kept safe until the right moment to come true. Lily made a wish, hoping that her family would always be happy and healthy.
Just as Lily was about to leave, the moon gave her a special gift—a tiny, moonstone that glowed with the same light as the moon itself. “Keep this with you, Lily,” the moon said. “It will remind you of all the wonderful adventures you’ve had and the magic of the night sky.”
With a heart full of joy and a moonstone in her pocket, Lily floated back to her bed. She opened her eyes and found the moonstone resting on her pillow. She smiled, knowing that every night, the moon would be watching over her, keeping her dreams safe and bright.
And so, Lily drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the next full moon and the adventures that awaited her. And the moon, with its soft, silver light, watched over her, promising to bring more magic to her life.
The end.
Goodnight, little one. May your dreams be as magical as the night sky above.
