The Cozy Curling Ritual

The other animals would rest in nests, burrows, or cozy caves. But Luma had her own bedtime dance.

First, she’d walk in a slow circle three times under her favorite tree. Then she’d bend her long legs gently, folding herself like a ribbon.

And finally, with one big giraffe sigh, Luma would curl her long neck around herself, soft and snug, just like a rolled-up sock. The stars twinkled in amazement. “How can something so tall become something so small?” they whispered.

And Luma would smile sleepily, because bedtime isn’t about being big or small, it’s about feeling safe, warm, and ready to dream.

Uncurling with the Morning Sun

As the first light stretched across the horizon, Luma would slowly, gracefully uncurl herself. One leg, then another. Her long neck would rise like the sun, loop by loop, until she stood tall again, ready for a brand new day.

The animals would blink awake and yawn.
“Did you sleep well, Luma?” they’d ask. And she’d smile. “Like a sock in a drawer,” she’d say.

So if you ever feel too small in a big world, or too big in a small bed, just remember the giraffe who curled up like a sock.

No matter your size, there’s always a perfect way to rest. Goodnight, little one. Curl in close. Sleep soft and dream tall.

The End !
