Keep Your Eyes Open

Once upon a time in a playful park, Percy the puppy played hide and seek with his pals.

A green park filled with trees, bushes, and a group of friendly animals

Percy peeked behind a tree, pretending to be a pirate searching for treasure. Suddenly, he heard a soft snore. 'Woof woof!' Percy barked, curious to see who was there. He tip-pawed closer, keeping his eyes open wide.

The turtle stirred, waking up with a yawn. 'Why hello there, young pup,' she said with a chuckle. 'I was taking a nap in my cozy little home.'

Percy and the turtle talked about adventure and unseen sights. The sun began to set, and the colors in the sky started to dance. 'Keep your eyes open,' said the turtle, 'for the sky is a canvas of wonders.'

As the stars twinkled like tiny bells, Percy scampered back home, eager to tell his family about the day's discoveries. He yawned, feeling sleepy but promised to keep his eyes open to catch dreams in flight.
