Bedtime Story
Join Grump, a mischievous goblin, as he finds a new friend in Lily, a lost girl. Together they discover the joy of helping others and the magic of friendship!
Once upon a time, in a deep green forest, there lived a goblin named Grump. Grump was small and green, with pointy ears and a big nose. He loved to play tricks on the animals and scare them. Grump thought it was funny, but the animals did not. They ran away whenever they saw him.
One sunny day, while Grump was hiding behind a tree, he noticed a little girl. She was lost! Her name was Lily, and she was wandering around, looking worried. Grump peeked out, his eyes sparkling. He thought this would be a great chance to play a trick on her.
But as he watched her, Grump's heart felt something strange. Lily looked sad and alone. Grump remembered a time when he had felt lonely too. He decided to help her instead. "Hello there!" Grump said, popping out from behind the tree. Lily jumped and looked surprised.
Grump tried to smile, but it looked more like a funny grimace. "Don't be scared! I’m here to help you!" he said with a wobbly voice. Lily blinked and wiped her tears. She didn’t want to be scared anymore. "Okay, do you know the way home?" she asked softly.
"Yes!" Grump replied, feeling proud. "Follow me!" He was excited to help, and it felt much nicer than playing tricks. Lily walked beside him, and they chatted about butterflies and flowers. Grump felt warm inside. Helping her was fun!
As they walked, Grump remembered the places he loved. He showed her the sparkling stream where the fish swam. "Look at them jump!" he exclaimed, and Lily giggled. The sound made Grump smile wider, and he felt happier than he had ever felt before.
They continued walking, and soon they spotted a big, colorful rainbow in the sky. "Wow!" said Lily, her eyes shining bright. "It’s beautiful!" Grump felt proud to show her this wonderful sight, and together they laughed and danced under the rainbow.
At last, they reached the edge of the forest. Lily could see her house in the distance. "Thank you, Grump! You are my hero!" she cheered, and Grump felt a rush of joy. He realized that being kind and helping others was more fun than playing tricks.
Before she ran off, Lily said, "Will you be my friend?" Grump's heart fluttered. "Yes!" he smiled, and from that day on, Grump was never a lonely goblin again. He learned the true magic of friendship.
