Mimi the Meadow Mouse and the Whispering Night Wind

5 Min Read Ages 3-7
Deep inside Cloverblossom Meadow, the dusk sun settled into shades of peach and lavender. Mimi the Meadow Mouse was busy tucking dried lavender into her tiny bed, his little paws moving gently across the cooling earth.

As twilight blanketed the woods, the evening breeze began to sing softly through the leaves. 'Hush now, little paws. Hush now, fluttering wings,' hummed the wind. Mimi the Meadow Mouse stopped and listened. His eyelids felt heavy, like tiny velvet curtains ready to close.

He walked over to his soft nest beneath the roots, fluffed up his dry moss pillow, and curled up cozy and safe. The silver moon looked down like a nightlight in the sky. Mimi the Meadow Mouse whispered goodnight to the tall trees, goodnight to the gentle river, and goodnight to all his forest friends.

He took a slow, deep breath in... and let a long, soft breath out. Warmth filled his heart as sleep wrapped around him like a gentle quilt. He knew tomorrow would bring new adventures, but tonight was made for resting.
