In her cozy bed, a brave little explorer named Flora closed her eyes, ready for a dream adventure. Suddenly, a tiny light, no bigger than a buttercup, danced in front of her. It was Glimmer, a friendly firefly, whose light pulsed with a gentle, golden glow. He buzzed a tiny question, "Shall we find a secret place, Flora? A place just for dreaming?"

Flora nodded in her dream, and together they floated out into the quiet night. They drifted over treetops that looked like sleepy, green clouds in the moonlight. Below them, a gentle river shimmered like a ribbon of fallen stars, whispering a soft, shushing lullaby as it flowed on its way to the sea.

At last, Glimmer led Flora to a hidden meadow filled with moon-petal flowers. The petals glowed with a soft, silvery light, making the whole meadow feel safe and warm. Flora lay down on a patch of moss that was softer than her favorite blanket, and the air smelled sweet and sleepy, like lavender and chamomile.

Glimmer circled slowly above her, his little light becoming a soft, slow pulse... glowing... and fading... glowing... and fading. With each gentle pulse, Flora's breathing grew deeper... and slower. The whispering river and the glowing flowers guided her gently... so gently... into a deep and peaceful sleep.
