Nong Noona was a whirlwind of wiggles and giggles!

She zoomed through the house like a tiny, happy typhoon.

Building block towers taller than toasters!

Drawing pictures of purple cats and spotted hats!

Nong Noona loved to play, play, play all day!

But when the sun dipped low and the moon said, "Hello!"

It was bedtime for Nong Noona, whether she liked it or not!

"No, no, NO!" she'd cry, her voice a tiny squawk.

"I'm not sleepy! Not one bit! I want to play in the dark!"

One night, a gentle "Hoo" echoed through her room.

Nong Noona peeked from under her covers, a little bit scared, a little bit curious.

"Don't be afraid," the voice whispered. It was a big, brown owl with eyes like shining moons.

"I'm Ollie the Owl, and I hear you don't like to sleep?"

"Sleep is BORING!" Nong Noona huffed. "I'd rather play with my toys and have fun!"

Ollie chuckled, a soft, feathery sound. "But sleep is magical, little one. It's when your body rests and your dreams take flight!"

"Dreams?" Nong Noona's eyes widened. "Like flying on a giant banana to a land made of candy?"

Ollie's beak curved into a smile. "Perhaps! Or maybe you'll swim with talking dolphins or sing with silly monkeys!"

"Wow!" Nong Noona whispered. She hadn't thought of sleep like that before.

"And," Ollie continued, "when you wake up, you'll have all the energy in the world to play even harder!"

Nong Noona's eyes grew wide. More energy to play? That did sound good.

"Okay, Ollie," she said with a yawn. "I think I'm ready for some dream adventures!"

Ollie winked. "Sweet dreams, little one. Sleep tight and fly high!"

And from that night on, Nong Noona looked forward to bedtime.

She knew that while she slept, amazing adventures awaited in the land of dreams.

And when she woke up, she was ready to zoom and giggle and play, play, PLAY all day long!
