The Crocodile Who Counted Moonbeams – One Glow at a Time to Drift Off
Large text for little eyes.
In a quiet river, under a sky full of shimmering stars, lived a young crocodile named Coco. Every night, while the other animals closed their eyes and drifted to sleep, Coco found it hard to rest.
His big eyes stayed wide open, watching the moonlight dance on the water. “How can I ever fall asleep when the night sparkles so much?” he wondered.
Tonight, Coco decided to try something new, a special way to calm his busy mind.
Counting Moonbeams
Coco lay on the soft riverbank and looked up at the glowing moon. A gentle moonbeam flickered on the water’s surface. “One,” he whispered. Another moonbeam sparkled on a nearby leaf. “Two…”
Coco kept counting every silver glow that twinkled in the night, slowly and softly.
“One, two, three…”
His eyelids grew heavier with every gentle count. The moonbeams seemed to wink at him, encouraging him to keep counting… just one more.
The Magic of the Night Glow
As Coco counted moonbeam after moonbeam, the sounds of the jungle grew softer, a gentle croak from a frog, a whisper of leaves in the breeze. He felt the cool river air on his scales and the warmth of the earth beneath him.
Each moonbeam was like a tiny lullaby, a little light to carry him closer to sleep.
By the time he reached twenty moonbeams, Coco’s breathing was slow and calm, and his heart felt peaceful.
Drifting into Dreams
Coco closed his eyes and smiled. The moonlight wrapped him in a soft, glowing hug. He dreamed of sparkling rivers and friendly fireflies, of gentle waves rocking him softly.
And as the night carried him deeper into dreams, the moonbeams kept glowing, one by one, lighting the way to peaceful rest.
A Sleepy Thought to Remember
If your mind feels busy or you can’t fall asleep, try counting moonbeams or anything soft and gentle.
Let the quiet light carry you, one glow at a time, into sweet dreams.
Goodnight, little dreamer.
The End !
