Sleeping Story

Simba Fluff was a very happy hippopotamus. He lived in the river and spent his days swimming and basking in the sun. Every evening he liked to sit on the edge of the shore to watch the stars twinkle in the night sky.


One evening, Simba Fluff noticed something different in the air: a gentle breeze that smelled like lavender and reminded him of his mother. He closed his eyes and imagined her warm face with a tender smile. And as he stretched out his great webbed paws on the warm earth, he felt enveloped by a sensation of deep peace.


He began to hear soft voices whispering soothing words as the caressing wind carried his mind to a peaceful, restorative slumber. When he opened his eyes, Simba Fluff saw that the sky was dotted with thousands of bright stars watching over him as he slept peacefully in the moonlight.
