Once upon a time, in the heart of the enchanted forest, there lived a big, furry bear named Benny.
Benny was the happiest bear you could ever meet, always playing with forest friends.
He chased butterflies with Bella the bunny and climbed trees with Tommy the squirrel.
Benny enjoyed picnics with Polly the raccoon as they shared delicious berries and honey.
As night fell, Benny became restless, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
His friends nestled in their beds, while Benny yearned for one more adventure.
Benny roamed under the moon's glow, looking for something, not knowing what.
He met an old wise owl, who looked at him with knowing eyes.
'Benny,' the owl hooted, 'why do you wander instead of sleeping?'
Benny shared his struggle, 'I want to keep playing, even now in the dark.'
The wise owl nodded, 'True rest will come when you find peace in the stars.'
Benny looked up, found patterns in stars, and his mind calmed with each twinkle.
