Lily's cozy bedroom felt wonderfully warm and wonderfully peaceful this starry night.

Pillow Paws, her very favorite fluffy teddy bear, sat quietly right beside her.

Pillow Paws: “Night-night, my very dear Lily.”

Lily stirred gently and let out a soft, little sigh in her deep sleep.

Pillow Paws: “Why do you sigh so, little friend?”

Lily sometimes had wobbly, slightly tangled dreams that made her feel a little fidgety.

The big, quiet garden lay still and shimmered silver under the bright, round moon.

Pillow Paws slowly blinked his tiny button eyes wide open in the dark.

Pillow Paws: “Oh dear, Lily truly needs calm dreams now.”

Pillow Paws: “I must find a very special moonpetal!”

Pillow Paws carefully hopped from the soft, warm bed onto the cool floor.

Pillow Paws: “Quietly, step by gentle, quiet step.”

He slipped through the slightly open bedroom door and into the hushed hall.

Pillow Paws: “Where do the softest, sweet dreams live?”

He padded past rows of fragrant, sleepy lavender bushes in the moon's glow.

Pillow Paws: “Are you hiding it here, little purple flower?”

Pillow Paws: “No, not quite the right, secret place.”

He tiptoed very gently to the shimmering edge of the garden pond.

Pillow Paws: “Perhaps near this calm, cool, watery surface?”

Pillow Paws: “Still no calm dream here at all.”

Then, a tiny, bright, shimmering bloom suddenly caught his careful eye.

Pillow Paws: “Oh, a real, truly glowing Moonpetal!”

Pillow Paws: “It glows with a soft, sweet, calming light.”

He carefully, ever so gently, picked the shimmering, special petal.

Back in Lily's peaceful and quiet bedroom once more.

Pillow Paws gently climbed back onto her soft, very warm bed.

Pillow Paws: “This is for your sweet, happy dreams, Lily.”

He tucked the soft, glowing moonpetal right under her fluffy pillow.

Pillow Paws: “Sleep softly now, my dear, dear friend.”

Pillow Paws: “Sweetest dreams for my very best friend.”

Pillow Paws snuggled very, very close, dreaming his own calm dreams too.
