Once upon a time, in a magical forest, there lived a friendly little dragon named Dre. Dre loved to play and explore, but there was one thing he loved more than anything else – counting! One sunny morning, as Dre was flying around, he stumbled upon a sparkling treasure chest. Curious, he opened it, and inside he found colorful gems, each with a number on it, from 1 to 20.

Excited to learn, Dre decided to embark on a journey through the forest, counting each gem as he went along. With his wings flapping and a big smile on his face, Dre started counting. "One shiny gem, that's number one!" Dre exclaimed and carefully placed the gem in his treasure bag. He continued to explore, and soon found another gem. This time it had a number 2 on it. "Two beautiful gems, number two!" Dre happily added this gem to his collection.

Dre continued on his adventure, finding gems with the numbers 3, 4, and 5. "Three, four, five. Oh, how they shine!" Dre sang as he counted. He loved how the gems sparkled, each one more magnificent than the last. As Dre journeyed deeper into the forest, he spotted six, seven, and eight on the gems. He was getting faster, counting each one with ease. "Six sparkling gems, seven treasures to find, and eight beautiful numbers truly one of a kind!"

Dre's excitement grew as he discovered gem after gem. The numbers 9, 10, 11, and 12 seemed to appear magically before his eyes. "Nine, ten, eleven, twelve! Oh, how I love to delve!" Dre reached a beautiful waterfall, where he found gems with the numbers 13, 14, and 15. The sound of the water flowing was soothing to Dre as he counted, "Thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen, counting gems is so serene."

With his treasure bag filling up, Dre hurriedly searched for more gems. He found numbers 16, 17, and 18 nestled among the flowers. "Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen! Beautiful gems, always great to see!" Now there were only two gems left in the forest for Dre to find. He followed the sound of laughter and discovered a group of woodland creatures playing near a cozy tree. They had found the numbers 19 and 20.

"Finally, nineteen and twenty, this is where the gems aplenty!" Dre declared. The animals cheered, impressed with Dre's counting abilities. Dre carefully placed the last two gems in his treasure bag, feeling proud of his accomplishment. With his bag full of spectacular gems, Dre thanked the animals and bid them farewell. He returned to his cozy dragon cave, ready to enjoy a good night's sleep.

As Dre drifted off to dreamland, counting gems danced in his mind. From one all the way to twenty, counting made him feel so plenty. And so, every night thereafter, Dre would dream of counting to his heart's content, enjoying every number as he went. The end.

Goodnight, dear little ones, and remember, counting is great fun, Just like Dre, counting can make you shine like the sun.
