Hello, Josh! Tonight's story is all about a boy just like you, who loved to imagine amazing things and build them for real. Just behind his backyard was the Glimmerwood Forest, where the leaves whispered secrets and the flowers glowed softly at dusk. One afternoon, Josh decided he would go on an adventure to build the most spectacular, cozy fort for the forest's giggling sprites.

With a backpack full of snacks and ideas, Josh stepped into the forest. Soon, he came to a bubbly little stream that hummed a happy tune. How would he get across? Thinking like the great builder he was, Josh gathered sturdy fallen twigs and long, leafy vines. He carefully wove them together, making a funny, wobbly bridge that was just strong enough. As he crossed, a tiny squirrel wearing a mushroom cap as a hat did a little dance, which made Josh laugh out loud.

Josh found the perfect spot and built a magnificent fort with soft moss for the floor, a roof of giant ferns, and a doorway decorated with shiny pebbles. The sprites peeked out and chirped with delight! Josh learned that his wonderful imagination and his clever building hands could solve any problem and bring joy to others. And now, it's time for you to close your eyes and dream of the wonderful things you can build on your own adventures. Goodnight, Josh.
