Story One: The Left Sock’s Quick Trip
Sam had a favorite pair of space socks. One sock, named Zoom, was in the drawer. The other, named Zip, was missing. Zip had fallen behind the laundry hamper. He was stuck. He wanted to get back to Zoom, but the gap was too small. He saw a dust bunny roll by. “Need a push?” the dust bunny asked. Zip nodded. The dust bunny bumped him. Poof! Zip popped out into the open! The hallway was huge! He started shuffling toward the bedroom. Shuffle-shuffle. A friendly dog saw him. The dog picked Zip up gently and carried him to the bedroom, dropping him by the bed. The person found Zip and put him in the drawer with Zoom. “You’re back!” Zoom whispered. “You’ll never believe my trip,” Zip whispered back. The drawer was dark and quiet. The pair was together. All was calm. The adventure was over. Sleep came fast.
Story Two: The Night Light’s Fast Game
Glim was a small night light. He glowed blue in the hall. He was bored. He decided to play a quick game. He would count to ten, then blink off for one second. Then glow again. One… two… three… He did it. Blink. Dark for one second. Then light. He did it again. A car’s headlights flashed outside the window. Flash! It was like the car played too! Glim glowed a little brighter. He counted and blinked again. A cloud moved, and the moonlight shifted. The shadows on the wall danced. It was a game with the whole night. The hall clock ticked. Glim’s game slowed. His glows became longer. His blinks became shorter. Finally, he just glowed a steady, soft blue. The game was over. The hallway was peaceful. The night light kept his quiet watch. Sleep came fast.
Story Three: The Spoon’s Quick Decision
Drip was a teaspoon. He lived in a drawer. He had a big decision. Should he face up or face down in the dishwasher? Facing up meant he might get a waterfall rinse. Facing down meant he’d be in the dark. He couldn’t decide. The other spoons were already loaded. “Hurry up!” one said. Just then, a hand picked up Drip and placed him in the rack. He was placed facing up. The door shut. It was dark. Then, whoosh! Warm water sprayed everywhere! It was a waterfall! It was fun! Then, hot air blew. Hmmmm. It was a warm desert wind. The cycle ended. The door opened. Light! Drip was clean and shiny. He was placed in the drawer with the other spoons. “How was it?” they asked. “Quick and wet,” Drip said. The drawer was dark. The spoon was clean and tired. His decision was made for him, and it was just fine. Sleep came fast.
