Far away, where the hills meet the stars, there lived a child named Nora.
Every night, Nora's tiny lamb Clover curled up beside them.
Clover was soft as a cloud, warm as toast.
Tonight, Nora couldn't quite fall asleep.
They felt a curious, fluttery feeling in their chest.
"Clover," Nora whispered, "I wonder how children everywhere say goodnight."
Clover's ears twitched.
A soft breeze drifted through the window…
And suddenly, the room filled with gentle, golden light.
The light wrapped around them like a warm blanket.
When Nora opened their eyes, they were somewhere new.
Sand stretched soft and cool beneath their toes.
The moon hung low and silver over a quiet desert.
A child sat nearby, humming a slow, sweet tune.
"That's our goodnight song," the child said softly.
Nora listened.
The melody was like honey dripping slow.
Clover nuzzled close, and Nora hummed along.
*Goodnight, moon. Goodnight, stars.*
The words felt warm in Nora's mouth.
The golden light swirled again.
Now Nora stood in a snowy forest.
Tall trees wore blankets of white.
A fire crackled soft and low.
Another child sat beside it, wrapped in furs.
"We say goodnight to the fire," the child whispered, "because it keeps us warm."
Nora knelt down.
They felt the fire's gentle heat on their cheeks.
Clover pressed close, and Nora whispered too.
*Goodnight, moon. Goodnight, stars.*
The fire seemed to glow a little softer.
The light spun once more.
This time, Nora stood on a wooden boat.
Water rocked them, slow and steady.
The sky was deep purple, scattered with stars.
A child leaned over the edge, trailing fingers in the cool water.
"We say goodnight to the waves," the child said, "because they sing us to sleep."
Nora listened to the gentle *shh-shh, shh-shh* of the waves.
Clover's little hooves tapped softly on the wood.
Nora took a breath.
They had an idea — a small, brave idea.
"I know a lullaby too," Nora said.
Their voice was quiet, but it felt strong.
They sang the words their own family sang at home.
Soft and slow, like a secret shared.
The child on the boat smiled.
The golden light glowed warmer.
And then, gently, Nora and Clover were back in their own room.
The breeze had stopped.
The window was dark and cozy.
Nora pulled their blanket up to their chin.
Clover nestled into the crook of their arm.
"We all say goodnight," Nora whispered, "in our own way."
*Goodnight, moon. Goodnight, stars.*
The words felt like a hug.
Nora's eyes grew heavy.
The room was warm.
The night was soft.
Clover's breathing was slow and even.
Nora's hand rested on Clover's woolly back.
Outside, the moon watched over them both.
And together, they drifted off to sleep.
