I’ve never been blessed with the ability to fall asleep fast. I have to toss and turn and click around on my phone for an hour at least before I can even attempt to get some shut eye. It drives me up the wall sometimes when I have an early morning or a big meeting the next day and all I can do is lie there.
Bedtime stories as a kid always helped me shorten that empty time between when I got in bed and when I actually fell asleep. But, as I’ve moved into adulthood, the fairytales and fables have been replaced with social media and mindless scrolling. I know, I know, this so does not help my inability to sleep. It’s hard to turn it off sometimes and sit in silence instead.
Which got me wondering, are there bedtime stories for adults that could take the place of those from my childhood? There are apps, I know, that play white noise or block notification or limit your screen time. But I wanted that feeling of being a kid and reading a nice, gentle story before bed.
If you’re in the same boat I am, seeking that same feeling but a little more grown up, try one of these bedtime short stories for adults to see if you can get some sleep.
“Whitefoot” by Wendell Berry
“Whitefoot” focuses on the life of a mouse much in a similar vein of the many fables your parents read you as a kid. Whitefoot the mouse encounters some tribulations, obstacles from the large world around her, but (spoiler alert) she gets out unscathed, ready to keep at it. It’s long, gentle, and beautiful. You’ll have images of little Whitefoot’s journey with you as you fall asleep.
“Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway
I’m sure many of you have read “Hills Like White Elephants” at some point in your school career. Masked in metaphor and implications, the surface level of the story is simply a conversation between a couple while waiting for their train. Sure, there’s subtext if you want to dig into it.
But, if you turn off your thinking brain and read the straightforward prose, you’ll be drifting off in no time.
“Ghosts and Empties” by Lauren Groff
Some of you may share a fondness for walking when you can’t sleep, much like the main character in “Ghosts and Empties.” She walks off her anger, her pent up feelings, through her neighborhood and the ones surrounding it. She ponders her neighbors, the people she sees, thinks about her home and her boys and her husband. If walking soothes you, this story will too.
“With the Beatles” by Haruki Murakami
“With the Beatles” traces a man’s discovery of The Beatles in his young adulthood through his life alongside his dating history. It has the feeling of remembering the first time you found your favorite band and how that love develops through your life, major events coinciding with new releases. You know that feeling when you play a song and remember where you were in life when you were obsessed with it? This story feels like that: nostalgic and comforting.
“The Book of Martha” by Octavia Butler
“The Book of Martha” is, at it’s core, about how to make a perfect world. Or, I guess, how difficult that is. God grants Martha the power to help humanity. But that proves much harder than she thought. In a careful exploration of belief, perfection, and humanity, “The Book of Martha” is sure to catch your attention without keeping you up too late. Plus, it’ll give you something to think through when you close your eyes, pushing those pesky daily worries out the window.
“Cousin Tribulation’s Story” by Louisa May Alcott
This short story set on New Year’s Day follows a family who sacrifice their meal to help their neighbors in need. It’s heartwarming and sure to restore your faith in humanity before you go to sleep. Plus, it’s only 800 words! You won’t be up late into the night to find out what happens, and you’re sure to have a smile on your face when you do.
“Bruce and the Spider” by James Baldwin
This quick, fable-like story follows a king as he watches a spider..jpg)
The spider keeps failing to connect her web, and the king, also having failed in battle, sympathizes with her. But she keeps trying, and so he decides to take her cues and try again himself. It’s sure to inspire you in its simplicity and put you to sleep with it too.
“Instructions” by Neil Gaiman
This is more of a poem, and intended for a younger audience perhaps, but the rhythm is sure to lull you no matter your age. As the title implies, “Instructions” is a list of, well, instructions on how to leave home, how to interact with the world, and how to come back again. You’ll meet an imp, an old woman, a ferryman, an eagle, and ghosts in time. You’ll pick strawberries and return favors and grow up in your time away. This is one of those bedtime stories for adults and children alike.
“Kew Gardens” by Virginia Woolf
This short stories centers around the Kew Gardens in London on a summer day. Various pairs of people walk past the flowers, each lost in their own thoughts.
A young couple, a pair of men, and an elderly couple meander through the narrative. A snail makes an appearance as it climbs a flower. The story is gentle and slow, making it perfect to help you drift off tonight.
“A Telephone Call” by Dorothy Parker
“A Telephone Call” is a sweet, light-hearted story of a woman waiting by the phone. That’s it. Much the same way we wait for that text or Snapchat now, the main character sits beside the telephone waiting for a man to call. The internal monologue and lack of much else won’t raise the blood pressure or keep you too engaged. You’ll sleep, maybe thinking of your own telephone call.
I hope these bedtime stories for adults helped you get some shut eye. If you’re still looking for something low-key or soothing, try these comforting books for hard times or these comforting comics, if those are more your speed. You can also be read to sleep with these soothing audiobooks to fall asleep to.
Best Bedtime Stories For Adults & Girlfriends (Complete Guide)
There’s no better feeling than climbing into bed after a demanding day, and closing your eyes for a restful night of sleep.
In a perfect world, your mind will be at ease and you’ll softly drift off to sleep in 10-15 minutes—but sadly this isn’t usually the case. Five minutes of scrolling through Facebook turns into an hour of watching Friends blooper videos and even though they’re real entertaining, it’s a lot harder to fall asleep after you’ve had a device in your face stimulating your brain for so long. Reading or listening to bedtime stories before you go to sleep is a great way to reduce stress and relax your mind so you can effortlessly slip into a deep sleep like you used to when you were a kid.

General Tips And Tricks For Telling A Good Bedtime Story
When you’re telling a story, whether you’re reading it from a book or making it up off the top of your head, keep these tips in mind to make sure your audience stays engaged and on the edge of their seats.
Keep it simple — You don’t want to get too crazy with an overload of characters and a complicated plot, unless you want to see your listener’s eyes glaze over.
Set the stage, introduce a few solid characters, and keep the plot running on track.
Change your tone of voice — Nobody likes a monotone storyteller. Change the tone and speed of your voice to match the moments in your story. If something scary is about to happen, maybe slow down and lower the tone of your voice. If the scene is hectic, talk in a fast pace to set the mood and mirror how your characters feel. And always remember to be enthusiastic!
Pause for dramatic effect — This is a fool proof way to create suspense, and have your listener eagerly waiting to hear what comes next.
Facial expressions — Submerse yourself in the story, if the character is angry then scrunch your eyebrows and frown. If they’re happy, continue reading the story with a smile on your face.
Keep eye contact — No matter who you’re reading a bedtime story to, you’re the catalyst for the story they’re hearing. When you keep eye contact with your audience, it ensures all their focus stays on you and your story.
Your listener will be so engaged they’ll be transported from their world, to the fictional universe you’re describing so well.
Now that you have the tools necessary to tell a good story, let’s get into our top rated list. We’ve gone ahead and included links to Amazon and other sites (highlighted in green) for your convenience.

The most beautiful heart
One sunny day, a handsome guy stood in the square in the middle of the city and proudly showed off the most beautiful heart in the area. He was surrounded by a crowd of people who sincerely admired the impeccability of his heart. It was really perfect - no dents, no scratches. And everyone in the crowd agreed that it was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen. The guy was very proud of it and just beamed with happiness.
Unexpectedly, an old man stepped forward from the crowd and said, addressing the guy:
- Your heart, in its beauty, was not even close to mine.
Then the whole crowd looked at the old man's heart. It was crumpled, all in scars, in some places pieces of the heart were taken out and others were inserted in their places that did not fit at all, some edges of the heart were torn. In addition, in some places in the old man's heart, pieces were clearly missing. The crowd stared at the old man - how could he say that his heart is more beautiful?
The boy looked at the old man's heart and laughed:
- You must be joking, old man! Compare your heart to mine! Mine is perfect! And your! Yours is a mess of scars and tears!
- Yes, - the old man replied, - your heart looks perfect, but I would never agree to exchange our hearts. Look! Every scar on my heart is a person to whom I gave my love - I ripped out a piece of my heart and gave it to that person. And he often gave me his love in return - his piece of heart, which filled the empty spaces in mine. But because the pieces of different hearts don't exactly fit together, that's why I have torn edges in my heart that I treasure because they remind me of the love we shared.
Sometimes I gave pieces of my heart, but other people didn't give me back theirs - that's why you can see empty holes in the heart - when you give your love, there is not always a guarantee of reciprocity. And although these holes bring pain, they remind me of the love that I shared, and I hope that one day these pieces of heart will return to me.
Now do you see what true beauty means?
The crowd froze. The young man stood dumbfounded in silence. Tears flowed from his eyes.
He went up to the old man, took out his heart and tore off a piece of it. With trembling hands, he offered a piece of his heart to the old man. The old man took his gift and inserted it into his heart. Then, in response, he tore a piece from his battered heart and inserted it into the hole that had formed in the young man's heart. The piece fit but not perfect and some of the edges were sticking out and some were torn.
The young man looked at his heart, no longer perfect, but more beautiful than it used to be, until the old man's love touched him.
And they, embracing, went along the road.
He and she
There were two of them - He and She. They found each other somewhere and now lived one life, somewhere funny, somewhere salty, in general, the most ordinary life of two most ordinary happy people.
They were happy because they were together, which is much better than being alone.
He carried Her in his arms, lit the stars in the sky at night, built a house so that She would have a place to live. And everyone said: “Still, how not to love him, because he is an ideal! It's easy to be happy with this!" And they listened to everyone and smiled and did not tell anyone that She made Him an ideal: He could not be different, because he was next to Her. This was their little secret.
She was waiting for Him, met and saw off, warmed their house, so that He would be warm and comfortable there. And everyone said: “Sure! How not to carry it on your hands, because it was created for the family. No wonder he's so happy!" And they only laughed and did not tell anyone that She was created for a family only with Him, and only he could feel good in Her house.
It was their little secret.
He walked, stumbled, fell, got frustrated and tired. And everyone said: “Why does He need her, so beaten and exhausted, because there are so many strong and confident people around.” But no one knew that there was no one stronger than Him in the world, because they were together, and therefore stronger than everyone. This was Her secret.
And She bandaged His wounds, did not sleep at night, was sad and cried. And everyone said: “What did he find in her, because she has wrinkles and bruises under her eyes. After all, why should he choose a young and beautiful one? But no one knew that She was the most beautiful in the world. Can anyone compare in beauty with the one they love? But that was His secret.
They all lived, loved and were happy. And everyone was perplexed: “How can you not get bored with each other for such a period? Don't you want something new?" And they didn't say anything. It’s just that there were only two of them, and there were many of them all, but they were all one at a time, because otherwise they wouldn’t have asked about anything.
It was not their secret, it was something that cannot be explained, and it is not necessary.
A very beautiful fairy tale
It is said that once all human feelings and qualities gathered together in one corner of the earth. When BOREDOM yawned for the third time, MADNESS suggested: "Let's play hide and seek!" INTRIGA raised an eyebrow: "Hide and seek? What kind of game is this?" and MADNESS explained that one of them, for example, drives - closes his eyes and counts to a million, while the rest hide. The one who is found last will drive the next time, and so on.
ENTHUSIASM danced with euphoria, JOY jumped so much that DOUBT convinced, only APATHY, which was never interested in anything, refused to participate in the game, TRUE, chose not to hide, because in the end it will always be given out, PRIDE said that it was completely stupid game (she didn't care about anything but herself) COULDY really didn't want to risk it.
- One, two, three - the beginning of the count is MADNESS.
LAZY was the first to hide, she hid behind the first stone on the road.
VERA ascended to heaven, and ENVY hid in the shadow of TRIUMPH, who managed to climb to the top of the highest tree on his own.
NOBILITY could not hide for a very long time, because every place it found seemed perfect for his friends.
Crystal clear lake - for BEAUTY.
Tree split? So this is for FEAR.
Butterfly wing - for voluptuousness.
A breath of the breeze - this is for FREEDOM! So, it hid in a ray of sunshine.
Egoism, on the contrary, has found a warm and cozy place for itself.
FALSE hid in the depths of the ocean (in fact, she hid in a rainbow).
PASSION and DESIRE hid in the nozzle of the volcano.
FORGETTING, I don't even remember where she hid, but it doesn't matter.
When MADNESS counted up to 999.999 LOVE was still looking for somewhere to hide, but everything was already taken; but suddenly she saw a marvelous rose bush and decided to take refuge among its flowers.
-A million, - MADNESS counted and began to search.
The first one, of course, was LAZY.
Then it heard how FAITH argues with God about zoology, and it learned about PASSION and DESIRE by the way the volcano trembles, then MADNESS saw ENVY and guessed where TRIUMPH was hiding.
EGOISM and there was no need to look, because the place where he was hiding turned out to be a hive of bees who decided to drive out the uninvited guest.
In search of MADNESS, he came to the stream to get drunk and saw BEAUTY.
DOUBT was sitting by the fence deciding which side to hide on.
So, everyone was found - TALENT - in fresh and juicy grass, SORRY - in a dark cave, FALSE - in a rainbow (to be honest, it actually hid at the bottom of the ocean). But they couldn't find love.
MADNESS searched behind every tree, in every stream, on the top of every mountain, and finally it decided to look in the rose bushes, and as it parted the branches, it heard a cry of pain. Sharp thorns of roses hurt LOVE's eyes.
MADNESS didn't know what to do, started to apologize, cried, prayed, asked for forgiveness and even promised LOVE to become her guide.
Since then, when for the first time on earth they played hide and seek,
LOVE IS BLIND AND CRAZY LEADS HER BY THE HAND.
Forgiveness
Ah, Love! I dream of being just like you! - Admiringly repeated Love. You are much stronger than me.
- Do you know what my strength is? Love asked, shaking her head thoughtfully.
- Because you are more important to people.
- No, my dear, not at all, - Love sighed and stroked Love on the head. “I can forgive, that’s what makes me so.
- Can you forgive Betrayal?
- Yes, I can, because Betrayal often comes from ignorance, and not from malicious intent.
- Can you forgive Treason?
- Yes, and Treason too, because, having changed and returning, a person got the opportunity to compare, and chose the best.
- Can you forgive Lies?
- A lie is the lesser of evils, silly, because it often comes from hopelessness, awareness of one's own guilt, or from an unwillingness to hurt, and this is a positive indicator.
- I don't think so, because there are just lying people!!!
- Of course there are, but they have nothing to do with me, because they do not know how to love.
- What else can you forgive?
- I can forgive Anger, because it is short-lived. I can forgive Sharpness, as it is often a companion of Grief, and Grief cannot be predicted and controlled, since everyone is upset in their own way.
- What else?
- I can still forgive Resentment - the older sister of Affliction, since they often follow one from the other. I can forgive Disappointment as it is often followed by Suffering, and Suffering cleanses.
- Ah, Love! You are truly amazing! You can forgive everything, everything, but at the first test I go out like a burnt out match! I envy you so much!!!
- And here you are wrong, baby. Nobody can forgive everything. Even Love.
- But you just told me something completely different!!!
- No, what I was talking about, I can actually forgive, and I forgive infinitely.
But there is something in the world that even Love cannot forgive.
Because it kills feelings, corrodes the soul, leads to longing and destruction. It hurts so much that even a great miracle cannot heal it. It poisons the life of others and makes you withdraw into yourself.
It hurts more than Treason and Betrayal and hurts worse than Lies and Resentment. You will understand this when you face him yourself. Remember, Love, the most terrible enemy of feelings is Indifference. Because there is no cure for it.
About the most beautiful woman
One day two sailors set out on a journey around the world to find their destiny. They sailed to the island, where the leader of one of the tribes had two daughters. The eldest is beautiful, and the youngest is not very.
One of the sailors said to his friend:
- That's it, I found my happiness, I stay here and marry the leader's daughter.
- Yes, you are right, the eldest daughter of the leader is beautiful, smart.
You made the right choice - get married.
- You misunderstood me, friend! I am marrying the chief's youngest daughter.
- Are you out of your mind? She's like... not so much.
- This is my decision and I will do it.
The friend sailed on in search of his happiness, and the groom went to woo. I must say that in the tribe it was customary to give cows for the bride. A good bride cost ten cows.
He drove ten cows and approached the leader.
- Chief, I want to marry your daughter and give ten cows for her!
- This is a good choice. My eldest daughter is beautiful, smart, and she is worth ten cows. I agree.
- No, chief, you don't understand. I want to marry your youngest daughter.
- Are you kidding? Can't you see, she's just so... not so good.
- I want to marry her.
- Okay, but as an honest person, I can't take ten cows, she's not worth it. I'll take three cows for her, no more.
- No, I want to pay exactly ten cows.
They got married.
Several years have passed, and the wandering friend, already on his ship, decided to visit the remaining comrade and find out how his life is. Sailed, walks along the shore, and towards the woman of unearthly beauty. He asked her how to find his friend. She showed. He comes and sees: his friend is sitting, the kids are running around.
- How are you?
- I'm happy.
That beautiful woman enters here.
- Here, meet me. This is my wife.
- How? Are you married again?
- No, it's still the same woman.
- But how did it happen that she changed so much?
- And you ask her yourself.
A friend approached the woman and asks:
- Sorry for the faux pas, but I remember how you were... not really. What happened to make you so beautiful?
- Just one day I realized that I was worth ten cows.
About how young people chose their life partners...
Two young men offered two girls to be their life companions. One said:
- I can only offer my heart, which can be entered by one of those who agree to share my difficult path.
Another said:
- I can offer a huge palace in which I want to share the joy of life with my companion. One of the girls, after thinking, answered:
- The heart that you offer, wanderer, is too tight for me. It will fit in the palm of my hand, and I must enter the monastery myself and feel the space and light that can bring happiness. I choose a palace and hope that it will not be crowded and boring in it. There will be a lot of light and space in it, which means there will be a lot of happiness.
The young man who offered the palace took the beauty by the hand and said:
- Your beauty is worthy of the splendor of my palaces.
And he took the girl to his beautiful abode. The second extended her hand to the one who could offer only the heart, and quietly said: - There is no warmer and more comfortable abode in the world than the human heart. Not a single, even the most huge palace, can be compared with the size of this holy abode.
And the girl went on a difficult path uphill with the one with whom she wished to share her happiness.
The road was not easy. They met many hardships and trials on their way, but in the heart of her beloved she was always warm and calm, and the feeling of happiness never left her. She was never cramped in a small heart, because from the Love that it radiated to everyone, it became huge, and there was a place for all living things in it. At the end of the path, on the top, which was hiding under the clouds, they saw such a radiant light, felt such warmth, felt such an all-encompassing Love that they understood what happiness a person can experience if the path to it lies through the heart.
The beauty, who chose a rich abode, did not long experience satisfaction from the spaciousness and light of the palace. Soon she realized that no matter how huge it was, it had limits, and the palace began to remind her of a beautiful gilded cage, in which it was hard to breathe and sing. She looked out of the windows, rushed between the columns, but did not find a way out. Everything pressed on her, choked, oppressed.
And there, outside the windows, there was SOMETHING that is not tangible and beautiful. No splendor of the palace could compare with what was outside its windows, in the boundless expanses of radiant space. The beauty realized that she would never experience that distant happiness. She did not understand what the road to this happiness leads through. She only became sad, and sadness enveloped her heart in a black canopy, which stopped beating. And the beautiful bird died of longing in a gilded cage, which she chose for herself.
People have forgotten that they are birds. People have forgotten that they can fly. People have forgotten that there are vast expanses into which you can sink and never drown.
Before making a choice, one must listen to the heart, and not touch the icy severity of the mind, which is more calculating than sensitive.
People have forgotten that happiness does not come close, that happiness must be followed along a difficult, long and long path, and this is the meaning of human life.
Love folklore pages
Hello, Darling! So I want to kiss your plump lips now! Such soft and sweet offended lips! I want to undead and caress them until a happy smile takes over them! And then you can sit comfortably on my shoulder and listen to a new fairy tale born in my dreams!
Today this tale will be about a girl who I dreamed about on amazing nights under the quiet crackle of logs in the stove and the mysterious light of a small lamp on the wall. This lamp was in the form of a cute gnome with an umbrella and it seemed that he was doing magic!
***
So, there was a girl. She lived peacefully and calmly, and everything was enough for her, except for one thing! She was very lonely, and therefore there was no happiness!
And then one day the girl went to look for this happiness! Every time she met good and kind people on the way, it seemed to her that she had found her happiness! But time passed, and interest in her disappeared, too quickly everyone around got used to the quiet and trouble-free wanderer.
Then she again went in search. But the path was not always so serene. And not only good people met her.
Once, on the threshold of a house, a very polite and courteous young man opened the door for her. And she went there without fear. The weary traveler was fed and put to bed. And at night, an evil spell fell on this house. And only in the morning with the first rays of the sun, she woke up exhausted on the street. But the fear of the events of this night was stronger than fatigue, and she rushed to run away as fast as she could! Since then, she never trusted any young man again. But the belief that somewhere in the world happiness awaits her helped to move on.
And then one day she sat down to rest on the bank of a small river under the rays of the bright spring sun. A mischievous brook sang to her a cheerful song about distant lands, to which he directed his trickles. The girl admired this picture so much that she did not hear light footsteps from behind. Someone's warm arms hugged her shoulders, and a gentle voice asked:
— How far are you going, Bunny?
— I have already traveled a lot, seen everyone! And now my path in loneliness is over! Hello my happiness! Hello my beloved!
The girl turned around, took her Happiness by the hand and never let go again!
***
I love you! I love you, my happiness! I will never give you up to anyone! And if you suddenly want to leave, I will hug and kiss you so hard that these hugs cannot be broken!

Your eyes are closed, and sleep is already wandering over your face.
I won't disturb you, my dear, sleep. You heard me come in, but you didn’t open your eyes, only your lips moved in a slight smile .... I love it when you smile ... your lips look like a small hunting bow with raised tips, in the depths of which lives a pink tongue-arrow. Oh, that multifunctional arrow! She knows how to kill on the spot with well-aimed words, she knows how to give imperious orders to subordinate men, she knows how to gently coo under my chin, or she can just be silent, doing her amazing job!
Sleep, my dear, I won't disturb you. I will not lie down next to you, but will sink to the floor to be on a par with your face.
I love such moments of mental unity with you. In these moments there are no physical contacts, only our souls speak. For me, now you are a little girl who I want to caress, stroke her curls and whisper something awkward to the sweet coming dream. You are an adult, beautiful, self-confident woman, but you also, like a child, miss tender words, I know this and am ready to tell you them.
They have accumulated in me, crowded in my chest and in my head, they want to be heard. Mom could say a lot of magic words to you, but mom will not say what a loving man can say. Sleep, sleep sweetly under my muttering, and it's even better that you fell asleep. You sleep, and I will whisper to you what my heart is full of.
It is a pity that I am not an oriental poet - Firdowsi, for example, or Hafiz, or Alisher Navoi ... they knew many beautiful words with which they sang their beloved.
A living spring - your mouth and sweeter than all joys,
my sobs are not like the Nile and the Euphrates itself.
All sweets have lost their taste and are cheap in price:
the nectar of your sweetest lips is more beautiful than all delights.
And even the sun is hard to compete with you:
your mirrored forehead is a hundred times brighter than it.
Sweet words murmur like a fast mountain stream, flow like a smooth majestic river, rustle with a gentle spring breeze, surround with a viscous rose fragrance.
.. everything is for you, everything is for you...
I look at your bare shoulders. What are you wearing under the covers now? You have a flannel nightgown with a lace collar at the neck, a funny cambric shirt, sometimes you put on flirty pajamas with ties at the throat and under the knees ... I know all your night dresses, I know them with my eyes, teeth and touch, because I took them off more than once from you ... and now I still see not a blanket on you, not your clothes, but your skin under it ... More recently, you hummed something in the bath, basking in clouds of snow-white foam, more recently you left the bathroom, and wet droplets the water glistened on your shoulders and on your chest over the towel, and right here, at the very dimple in your throat... that dimple always drove me crazy... and now my tongue moves habitually in my mouth... I love kissing you in that dimple... no, no, today I am quiet and humble, I just talk to you ... in words, but silently ... yes, it happens, thoughts are also words, only they are a thousand times faster!
I admire you.
You are now lying on a high pillow, surrounded by hair golden from the light of a nightlight, still damp at the ends, although you tried to hide them under a cap, but they still got wet and became a dark bronze color ... you smell of sea water, salty wind and something else - then painfully familiar, which makes me dizzy and takes my breath away ... It smells like you ... I inhale this smell, it is not more beautiful in the world ... my roses, my favorite roses, forgive me, your aroma is magnificent, but there is no smell sweeter than the smell of a beloved woman!
I look at your eyes, they are closed, I remember them perfectly, I know how they look in the twilight, the black dots of the pupils become huge, like a black universe, they attract me, and I drown in them ...
I take your hand, I bring it to my lips ... I kiss your every finger, every nail, I run your palm along my cheek, do you feel how smooth it is? I shaved, you love it when my cheeks are smooth, you love to rub against them, touch them with your tongue.
Of course, my cheeks will never compare with yours with their delicate velvety skin, but somewhere in the very depths of me I am ready for the fact that you can suddenly wake up and want to press your cheek against mine ... I'm always ready! Do you remember how once your cheeks were pierced by my stubble and in the morning covered with many small red spots .... To the bewildered glances of the employees, you casually answered that you had eaten too much strawberries ... allergies, they say, and no one asked where you can get strawberries in winter ...
Therefore, I found pleasure in the once unpleasant occupation for me - shaving ... everything - for you, everything - for you!
I always want to call you baby, I want to caress and pamper you like a little girl, smooth your eyebrows with my finger, run them along the line of your nose, along the curve of your lips, along your chin, neck, down, down ... stop ...
You moved and smiled happily dream, with a short sigh...
Sleep, my beloved.
.. sleep, it was I who entered your dream.

And his sister Alyonushka got his apartment, because good always triumphs over evil!
Bear's hut
- Who ate from my plate? Father Bear asks menacingly.
- And who ate from my plate? the eldest son asks.
- And who ate from my plate? - squeaks the youngest son.
- You idiots, I haven't poured you yet. - answers the bear.
A soldier was walking home from service. He knocked on the way to a house. “Let me in,” he says, “to spend the night, masters.” And in the house lived a greedy old woman. “Spend the night, sleep,” she said, “only I have nothing to treat you with.” “It doesn’t matter,” the soldier replied, “just give me an ax, and I’ll cook porridge out of it.” “What are you, a soldier,” the old woman was indignant, “do you think I’m completely stupid? What will I cut wood with then?” So the soldier remained without salty slurping. By the way, his name was Rodion Raskolnikov.

So today the Hedgehog said to the Bear cub:
- How good it is that we have each other!
Little Bear nodded.
- Just imagine: I'm not there, you're sitting alone and there's no one to talk to.
- Where are you?
- But I'm not.
- It doesn't happen, - said Little Bear.
- I think so too, - said the Hedgehog. “But all of a sudden, I don’t exist at all. You are alone. Well, what are you going to do? .
- I'll turn everything upside down and you'll be found!
- There is no me, nowhere!! !
- Then, then... Then I'll run out into the field, - said Little Bear. - And I will shout: “Yo-yo-yo-zhi-i-i-k!” , and you will hear and scream: “Bear-oh-oh-ok! ..”. Here.
- No, - said the Hedgehog. - I don't have one bit. Understand?
- Why are you pestering me? - Bear cub got angry. If you are not, then I am not. Understood?…

Once upon a time Grandfather, Baba and the chicken Ryaba. And somehow a hen laid a testicle for Grandfather.
Grandfather is crying, Baba is crying, and the hen is clucking: “Don’t cry, Baba, don’t cry, Grandfather, otherwise I’ll lay your second testicle too ...”
Is it true that both the fairy tale is SHORT and the hen is terribly kind?

A short tale about a smart princess
In Far Far Away, in Far Far Away, there lived a beautiful, independent, independent and smart princess. One day she was sitting on the bank of a picturesque pond in a green valley near her castle, thinking about the meaning of life, and suddenly she saw a frog.
The frog jumped into her lap and
said: "Sweet, kind girl. Once I was a handsome prince, but the evil sorceress enchanted me, turning me into a frog. If you kiss me, I will turn into a prince again, and then, my charm , I will live in your castle, and you will cook my food, clean my horse, wash my clothes, raise my children and be glad that I took you as a wife.
"
That evening, after a light supper of frog legs with spices and a glass of guilt, the Princess chuckled softly and thought: "Fuck you!"

Hello, Beloved! So I want to kiss your plump lips now! Such soft and sweet offended lips! I want to undead and caress them until a happy smile takes over them! And then you can sit comfortably on my shoulder and listen to a new fairy tale born in my dreams!
Today this tale will be about a girl who I dreamed about on amazing nights under the quiet crackle of logs in the stove and the mysterious light of a small lamp on the wall.
This lamp was in the form of a cute gnome with an umbrella and it seemed that he was doing magic!

So, there was a girl. She lived peacefully and calmly, and everything was enough for her, except for one thing! She was very lonely, and therefore there was no happiness!
And then one day the girl went to look for this happiness! Every time she met good and kind people along the way, it seemed to her that she had found her happiness! But time passed, and interest in her disappeared, too quickly everyone around got used to the quiet and trouble-free wanderer. Then she again went in search. But the path was not always so serene. And not only good people met her.
Once, on the threshold of a house, a very polite and courteous young man opened the door to her. And she went there without fear. The weary traveler was fed and put to bed. And at night, an evil spell fell on this house. And only in the morning with the first rays of the sun, she woke up exhausted on the street.
But the fear of the events of this night was stronger than fatigue, and she rushed to run away as fast as she could! Since then, she never trusted any young man again. But the belief that somewhere in the world happiness awaits her helped to move on.
And then one day she sat down to rest on the bank of a small river under the rays of the bright spring sun. A mischievous brook sang to her a cheerful song about distant lands, to which he aspired his trickles. The girl admired this picture so much that she did not hear light footsteps from behind. Someone's warm arms hugged her shoulders, and a gentle voice asked:
- How far are you going, Bunny?
From this touch and voice immediately breathed so close and dear that in response she could not say anything other than:
- I've been through a lot, seen everyone! And now my path in loneliness is over! Hello my happiness! Hello my beloved!
The girl turned around, took her Happiness by the hand and never let go again!
***
I love you! I love you, my happiness! I will never give you up to anyone! And if you suddenly want to leave, I will hug and kiss you so hard that these hugs cannot be broken!
