Luna the cat wakes up in her cozy little house. She stretches. She yawns. But something feels different today.
Luna feels... sad. She doesn't know why. She just feels sad inside.
Luna looks at her basket full of bells. Shiny bells! Jingling bells! But today, they don't sound the same. Jingle... jingle... jingle. Too quiet.
Luna looks out the sunny window. The sun is there. The flowers sway. But the sun feels too quiet today, too. Do you ever feel sad and not know why? That's okay.
Luna sits with her sadness. She sits very still. Sometimes sadness just needs a little room. So Luna waits. She breathes in... and out.
Then Luna thinks of her friend. The kind old dog who naps under the big, friendly tree. Maybe she can tell him how she feels. When you feel sad, it can help to find someone to sit with.
Luna walks outside to the big, friendly tree. "Hello," she says softly. The kind old dog opens one warm brown eye. "Hello, Luna."
"I feel sad today," Luna says. "I don't know why." The kind old dog nods his big, soft head. "Thank you for telling me," he says. And he sits close.
They sit together. No one has to fix it. No one has to make it go away. Sometimes just sitting with a friend is enough. Luna feels a little less alone.
Then — do you hear that? Jingle! Jingle! A tiny golden bell rolls through the garden. The breeze pushes it along, and it rings a little song. Jingle, jingle, jingle!
Luna's ears go up. She feels a tiny smile. Not all better. Not all the way. But a little bit better. And a little bit is good.
Sad days come, and sad days go. Sometimes they stay a while. Sometimes they float away like a breeze. But tomorrow is a new day. And the bells may jingle bright again.
