In a tiny, colorful village nestled between lush green hills and a sparkling river, little Mira gazed up at the night sky with wide, curious eyes. She wondered where the stars went when the sun woke up in the morning. Her grandmother, sitting nearby on a woven cot, smiled softly and told her, ‘The stars sleep in a special place called the Sky Garden, high above the clouds, where they rest until night falls again.’ Mira’s heart fluttered with excitement—she decided she would find this magical Sky Garden and see the stars sleep!

The next morning, Mira woke up with a sparkle in her eyes. She decided to build a magical bridge made of fluffy clouds to reach the Sky Garden. With her tiny hands, she gathered soft, cottony clouds from the sky, which shimmered with hues of pink and gold. As she stepped onto her cloud bridge, it wobbled playfully, but Mira giggled and tiptoed forward. Up, up she went, passing through a rainbow-colored tunnel, feeling the gentle tickle of the wind and the warm sunlight on her face. Soon, she was floating among the clouds, closer to the stars’ resting place.

At last, Mira arrived at a shimmering, luminous garden where stars of all shapes and sizes gently snoozed on soft, glowing beds made of moonbeams. The stars twinkled softly, wearing tiny crowns of sparkling dew. Mira tiptoed among them, feeling the peaceful magic of their slumber. She saw a tiny star yawning and whispering, ‘Goodnight, world,’ before closing its eyes. Mira realized that everyone, even the brightest stars, needs rest to shine brightly again. With a happy heart, she promised to visit them every night, knowing they were sleeping peacefully in their special Sky Garden.

As dawn painted the sky with shades of orange and pink, Mira gently floated back down her cloud bridge, feeling happy and full of wonder. She knew that the stars were sleeping peacefully in their Sky Garden, waiting for the night to come again. From that day on, Mira told everyone in her village about the magical place where stars sleep, inspiring children to dream big and believe in the magic of the night. She learned that just like the stars, everyone needs rest to shine their brightest, and that the most beautiful dreams come from believing in magic.
