Sleep Tale - a short bedtime story for children

There was a Dream. Like all dreams, he lived in a beautiful mysterious land of dreams. This Dream was still quite young and inexperienced. The dream was about the seas and oceans, formidable pirates and a brave captain. Like all other young dreams, he was very eager to finally go on a trip to Earth. I really wanted to dream of someone. And then came the long-awaited day! The sorceress of dreams, directing them in the right direction, gave our Dream clear instructions on where to fly, but he was so worried that he lost his way and could not remember the way. The dream was very upset, because at that moment someone was waiting for him and could not fall asleep. "I'll try to find the way myself," thought Son. Then he saw a cat sitting on the window. The dream descended to her and spoke:

Hello Cat. Why are you not sleeping? - he asked.
“I don’t know, I don’t want to,” answered the Cat.
— Or maybe you don't sleep because you don't have sleep? he suggested.
- Maybe.
- Or maybe I'm your dream? Let me dream about you!
- And what dream are you? asked the cat.
- About the seas and oceans, formidable pirates and a brave captain, - answered Son.
— No, I don't like such dreams. I love dreams about cheese and mice,” said the Cat, waving her tail and turning away.

And Son flew on. Then he saw the Cow, who was chewing hay and did not sleep.

Hello Cow. Why are you not sleeping? Son asked.
“I don’t know, I don’t want to,” replied the Cow.
— Or maybe you don't sleep because you don't have sleep?
"Moooo," the Cow replied.
- Or maybe I'm your dream? Do you want me to dream of you?
- And what dream are you? asked the Cow.
- About the seas and oceans, formidable pirates and a brave captain, - answered Son.
— No, I like dreams about juicy green grass, — answered the Cow and began to chew hay again.

And Son flew on. Suddenly he saw an open window. Outside the window was a table full of papers, on the table was a computer. A bald man was sitting at the table. The dream flew in through the window.

Hello. Why are you not sleeping? Son asked.
“I have a lot of work,” Uncle replied.
— Or maybe you don't sleep because you don't have sleep? he suggested.
“I don’t know, I don’t know…,” Uncle thought.
- Or maybe I'm your dream? Let me dream about you?
- And what dream are you? Uncle asked.
- About the seas and oceans, formidable pirates and a brave captain, - answered Son.
— No, I liked such dreams when I was little, but now I like dreams about sports cars, — Uncle answered, — and in general I have to work. Don't interfere.

Uncle turned to the computer, and Son flew on. He realized that he needed to find someone small. Then he saw a girl who was lying in a crib and did not sleep. He flew into her window.

- Hello, Girl. Why are you not sleeping? Son asked.
"I can't sleep," she replied.
— Or maybe you don't sleep because you don't have sleep? he suggested.
- Probably.
- Or maybe I'm your dream? Let me dream about you?
- And what dream are you? the Girl asked.
- About the seas and oceans, formidable pirates and a brave captain, - answered Son.
— No, I like dreams about princes and princesses, — the Girl answered sadly.

The Dream flew on, leaving the Girl to wait for her sleep. Then he saw a little boy sitting on the bed. Sleep descended on him.

- Hello Boy. Why are you not sleeping? - he asked.
“Sleep never comes to me,” answered the Boy.
- Or maybe I'm your dream? Let me dream about you! Son rejoiced.
- And what dream are you? the Boy asked.
- About the seas and oceans, formidable pirates and a brave captain, - answered Son.
- Of course you are my dream! Finally you have arrived!

Sleep put the Boy to bed, covered him with a blanket, and he immediately fell asleep. The boy had a wonderful dream about the seas and oceans, formidable pirates and a brave captain. May you have your favorite dreams too!
