🌟 The Story
🌌 A Twinkling Sky
High up in the night sky, there was a little star named Luma.
Every night, all the stars would shine brightly… and then slowly go to sleep.
But Luma had a problem.
“I’m not sleepy,” she said.
😴 A Restless Star
While other stars closed their eyes, Luma kept twinkling and moving around.
“I want to sleep… but I can’t,” she sighed.
Soon, she felt tired, but still couldn’t rest.
🌙 A Gentle Friend
Just then, the Moon came closer.
“Why are you still awake, little star?” asked the Moon.
“I don’t know how to fall asleep,” Luma said.
The Moon smiled kindly.
“I will help you.”
✨ A Bedtime Routine
