High on a tree branch was a small, cozy nest, home to a bird named Tweetie and her three little chicks.

Every evening at sunset, the little chicks would wiggle inside the nest, not wanting to sleep, staring instead at the twinkling stars.

So Tweetie would come close and begin to sing in a soft, gentle voice, sleep now, my little one, the stars are watching over you, and the moon loves you.

Her quiet song spread through the whole garden, reaching the sleepy cat under the tree and the resting butterfly on the flower, and they all drifted off with peaceful smiles.

At last, the little chicks closed their eyes one by one, and Tweetie wrapped them in her warm wings, until they all slept peacefully under the moonlight.

The Lesson: Gentle, kind words can bring comfort and peace to everyone around us.
