Cotton the Cloud's Slumber Journey (Episode 2)
5 Min Read
Ages 2-6
High above the sleepy town, where the evening sky turned from buttercup yellow to periwinkle blue, drifted Cotton. Cotton was shaped like a giant fluffy pillow drift, floating effortlessly without a care in the world.
All afternoon, Cotton had watched the world bustling: children running, bicycles whizzing, birds singing. But now, evening had arrived. It was time for Cotton's favorite job: catching flying daydreams and tucking them into sunset pockets.
Slowly, lazily, Cotton drifted across rooftops and gardens. Below, one by one, yellow window lights turned off. Families whispered goodnight. The world became quiet and still.
Cotton took a slow, easy breath of cool night air and melted into a calm silver mist across the starlit sky. Everything was resting. Everything was soft. And it was time to drift into sleep.
