The Little Star Who Found Its Shine
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far away, there was a little star named Luma. Luma was much smaller than the other stars, and she didn’t shine as brightly. Every night, she would look at the other stars lighting up the sky and feel sad because her light was so dim.
One evening, as Luma gazed at the Earth below, she noticed a little boy looking up at her. The boy was Ludovic, and he had a telescope pointed right at her.
“Why are you looking at me?” Luma asked, her voice trembling. “I’m not bright like the others.”
“You’re special,” Ludovic said with a smile. “Your light may be small, but it’s unique. Look how it twinkles—it makes me happy!”
Luma felt a warm glow in her heart. She decided to shine as best as she could, just for Ludovic. The more she twinkled, the brighter she became. Soon, all the stars noticed her.
“You’ve found your shine!” said a big star nearby.
From that day on, Luma knew she didn’t have to be the biggest or the brightest. She just needed to be herself, and she and Ludovic became best friends, sharing the sky every night.
​
Goodnight, Ludovic. May your dreams twinkle as brightly as Luma’s star and remind you how special you truly are."
The Brave Little Snail
In a beautiful garden, there lived a tiny snail named Sammy. Sammy had always dreamed of visiting the top of the tallest sunflower to see the world from above. But the other animals in the garden teased him.“You’re too slow!” laughed the grasshoppers.
“You’ll never make it!” chirped the
sparrows.
Sammy didn’t let their words stop him. One day, he began his climb up the sunflower. The journey was tough. The stem was steep, and the wind swayed the sunflower back and forth, but Sammy didn’t give up.
Halfway up, a ladybug named Lucy flew by. “Need help?” she asked.
“No, thank you,” said Sammy. “I want to do this on my own.”
Lucy smiled and cheered him on. Slowly but surely, Sammy inched his way to the very top. When he finally reached it, he looked out and gasped. The view was breathtaking! He could see the entire garden, sparkling under the sunlight.
The grasshoppers and sparrows were amazed. “You did it, Sammy!” they exclaimed.
Sammy smiled. “Sometimes, being slow and steady is the best way to achieve your dreams.”
That night, all the animals gathered around Sammy, and he told them about his adventure. From then on, they all respected the brave little snail who never gave up.
​
​Sleep well, Ludovic. Remember, no matter how small you feel, you can conquer great heights, just like Sammy.
The Curious Cloud and the Rainbow Bridge
Once upon a time, there was a fluffy little cloud named Puffy who lived in the sky. Puffy loved floating around, but he had one big wish—he wanted to touch the ground and see the world up close. He dreamed of feeling the soft grass, hearing the rustling leaves, and meeting the animals who lived
below.
One day, Puffy asked the Wind for help. “Can you blow me down to the ground?” he asked eagerly.
The Wind chuckled. “You’re a cloud, Puffy. You belong in the sky. But I can show you something even more special.”
The Wind blew gently, guiding Puffy toward a hidden valley. There, Puffy saw a magical sight—a rainbow bridge stretching from the sky all the way to the ground!
“What is that?” Puffy asked in awe.
“That’s the Rainbow Bridge,” the Wind explained. “If you sprinkle your raindrops on it, it will sparkle and shine, connecting the sky and the Earth.”
Puffy wiggled with excitement. He released tiny raindrops onto the rainbow, and suddenly, the colors glowed brighter than ever before. The rainbow shimmered, creating a beautiful path for everyone to see.
From the ground below, Ludovic, a curious little boy, spotted the rainbow and waved up at Puffy. “Thank you for making the world so beautiful!” Ludovic called.
Puffy felt so proud and happy. He realized that even though he couldn’t touch the ground, he could still share his magic with the Earth in his own special way. And every time a rainbow appeared, Puffy and Ludovic shared a secret smile, knowing they were connected through the colors in the sky.
​
Goodnight, Ludovic. Dream of rainbows and magical clouds, and remember that you can always find a way to connect your dreams to the world around you.
