In the quiet valley between two gentle hills, there lived a soft, silvery fog named Misty. Unlike morning fogs that disappeared with the sun, Misty was a nighttime fog, and she had a very special job.
Misty’s Evening Arrival
Every evening, just as the sky turned from pink to purple, Misty would begin to wake up. She would stretch and swirl, becoming a gentle blanket of silvery mist that floated softly over the valley.
“Time to help the sleepy ones”, Misty would whisper in her quiet, breathy voice.
The children in the valley knew that when Misty arrived, it was time to settle down for the night. Her cool, soft presence made everything feel calm and peaceful.
The Lost Little Dream
One quiet evening, Misty noticed something unusual. A tiny dream was floating all alone near the old oak tree, looking confused and worried.
“Hello there”, Misty said gently, swirling closer. “You look lost, little dream. Where are you supposed to be?”
The dream shimmered with soft colors, blues and purples and gentle golds. “I’m supposed to visit a child tonight”, it said sadly. “But I can’t find the way. Everything looks so different in the dark.”
Misty smiled, though you couldn’t quite see it in her misty form. “That’s exactly what I’m here to help with. I guide dreams to where they need to go.”
The Dream Path
Misty began to glow with the softest silver light, creating a beautiful, shimmering path through the darkness. The path looked like moonlight dancing on water, gentle and inviting.
“Follow me”, Misty whispered. “I know every house, every window, every sleeping child in this valley.”
As they traveled together, the little dream learned about Misty’s important work. She showed how she floated gently around each house, creating a soft, protective blanket that kept everything quiet and calm.
Visiting the Children
They passed by houses where children were getting ready for bed. Through the windows, Misty could see parents reading stories, tucking in blankets, and giving goodnight kisses.
“When I’m here”, Misty explained, “I make the world feel small and safe. The darkness doesn’t seem scary when everything is wrapped in my gentle mist.”
The little dream began to understand. “You make it easier for dreams to find their way, and for children to feel peaceful.”
“Exactly”, Misty said warmly. “And you help them have wonderful adventures while they sleep.”
Finding the Right Window
Finally, they arrived at a cozy cottage with a small window that glowed with soft lamplight. A child was lying in bed, eyes closed but not quite asleep yet.
“This is where you belong”, Misty whispered to the dream. “This child has been hoping for a beautiful dream tonight.”
The little dream glowed brighter with happiness. “Thank you, Misty. I would have been lost without you.”
Misty swirled gently around the window, making sure everything was peaceful and calm. Then she watched as the little dream floated softly inside, finding its way to the sleeping child.
The Valley Sleeps
As the night grew deeper, Misty continued her gentle watch over the valley. She wrapped the houses in soft mist, she guided more dreams to sleeping children, and she made sure everything stayed peaceful and quiet.
The trees swayed gently in the soft breeze, whispering their own lullabies. The stars twinkled overhead, winking at Misty as she did her important work. And all the children in the valley slept soundly, knowing that the gentle fog was watching over them.
The End
Every night, Misty the fog continues her gentle work, creating a soft, safe blanket over the valley and helping dreams find their way to sleeping children. And when you see the fog on a peaceful evening, you’ll know that somewhere, Misty is making sure everyone has the sweetest dreams.
Sweet dreams! 🌙✨
