As Sleepy Moon waited, he noticed the twinkling stars. They sparkled and danced around him. Sleepy Moon thought the stars were saying goodnight to him. He felt happy and listened carefully to their faint whispers.

Suddenly, Sleepy Moon heard a soft rustling sound. It was a friendly owl perched on a tree branch. Owl told Sleepy Moon about all the nocturnal animals that come to life at night. Sleepy Moon nodded and listened intently to Owl's stories.

Just as Sleepy Moon was about to drift off to sleep, he felt a cool breeze. It was Wind, a playful character who loved to sing nighttime lullabies. Sleepy Moon listened as Wind sang a sweet melody, making him feel even sleepier.
