The moon is up. The stars are out. The forest glows soft and bright. Little Aisha tiptoes outside. What will she find tonight?
The trees are tall. The path is soft. Little golden lights blink, blink, blink in the air. Aisha walks deeper into the forest. It is warm. It is quiet. It is magic.
Look! Who is that? Up on a mossy branch sits a round-eyed owl. "Hello, Owl," whispers Aisha. The owl blinks his big, big eyes.
Aisha makes up a little song. "Hoot, hoot, hoot. Hoot, hoot, hoo. Close your eyes, Owl. This song is for you." She sings it soft. She sings it slow.
Owl closes one eye. Then the other. "Hoot... hoot..." he whispers. And Owl is asleep. Shhh. Goodnight, Owl.
Aisha tiptoes on. Blink, blink, blink! The little golden fireflies dance all around her. So many tiny lights! Can you count them? One, two, three!
Aisha makes up a new song. "Blink, blink, blink. Blink, blink, bright. Time to rest your little lights. Blink... blink... goodnight." She sings it soft. She sings it slow.
One by one, the fireflies dim. Their little lights go soft... and soft... and gone. The fireflies are asleep. Shhh. Goodnight, fireflies.
Aisha tiptoes on. And look! Under a silver patch of moonlight, a little fox is curled up tight. His nose is tucked in his fluffy tail. But his eyes are still open.
Aisha makes up one more song. This one is the softest of all. "Mmm, mmm, mmm. Mmm, mmm, mmm. Sleep now, little fox. Mmm, mmm, mmm." She hums it soft. She hums it slow.
Fox closes his eyes. His breathing goes slow. The whole forest is sleeping now. Owl is asleep. The fireflies are asleep. Fox is asleep. Shhh. Everything is still.
And Aisha yawns a big, big yawn. She curls up under the stars. The moon shines down, soft and warm. "Goodnight, forest," she whispers. "Goodnight, moon." And Aisha is asleep too. Shhh. Goodnight, little one. Goodnight.
