Luna Picks Apples - Bedtime Story

0:00Lona, ex-Apples, in Grandfather's Garden, for children aged 3 to 9. The warm sun shone down on the lush garden as Luna stepped between the apple trees. Her eyes sparkled with joy as she saw the red juicy apples hanging heavily from the branches. Mmm, she thought they smelled delicious. Luna wasn't like other children. She often enjoyed playing alone and found peace in the quiet of the garden. Here she could listen to the bird sing and the wind whisper through the leaves.

1:03But today, Luna wanted to try something new. She wanted to pick an apple from the tree. Her heart hounded in her chest as she began to climb. The branches creaked under her weight and she held on tightly. Don't fall, she whispered to herself. I can do this. Finally, she reached the top. A large red apple hung right in front of her. Luna carefully picked it and held it up to the sun. Perfect, she smiled. She took a bite of the apple. The sweet juicy taste filled her mouth. Mmm, she said with a satisfied sigh. This is the best apple I've ever tasted.

2:03Luna climbed down from the tree with the apple in her hand. She was so proud of herself. She had overcome her fear and picked an apple all on her own. The rest of the afternoon, Luna spent playing in the garden. She climbed trees, picked apples and ate them with delight. Each apple was a sweet victory over her fear. As the sun set, Luna knew she would return to the garden again and again. Here, among the apple trees, she had found both courage and joy. But there was another world outside the garden. A world filled with noise and chaos.

3:05The children playing on the playground. The traffic on the street. The music from the radio. All of it could be overwhelming for Luna. In the garden, she found ease and quiet. A place where she could relax and be herself. One day, while Luna played in the garden, she heard a loud sound. A group of children were playing tag in the neighboring yard. They laughed and shouted and Luna felt her heart begin to race. She wanted to play with them, but their noise was frightening. Luna went back to her apple trees and climbed into one of them.

4:05From there, she could watch the children play, but she didn't hear their noise. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The fresh smell of apples filled her nose. And she felt the calm return to her body. Luna knew she couldn't avoid noise and chaos forever. But she also knew she had a place where she could find peace and quiet. In her grandfather's garden, among the apple trees. What was Luna afraid of? How did she overcome her fear?
