Baby Monkey’s Tree Swing Dreams
High up in the tallest tree in the jungle, where the leaves whispered soft lullabies in the evening breeze, lived a very sleepy baby monkey named Mango. Mango had the softest brown fur and the tiniest pink nose that twitched whenever he yawned.
Every night, as the sun painted the sky in gentle oranges and purples, Mango would climb to his favorite branch and wrap his little tail around a sturdy vine. This wasn’t just any vine—it was his magical dream swing, woven from moonbeams and starlight by the wise old owl who lived in the tree’s hollow.
“Time for bed, little Mango,” called his mama from below. But Mango wasn’t quite ready for sleep yet. He wanted to take one more ride on his special swing.
As Mango gently pushed off from his branch, the vine began to glow with a soft, silvery light. Back and forth he swayed, higher and higher, until he was swinging among the twinkling stars themselves. The wind carried the sweet scent of jasmine flowers and the distant song of a nightingale.
“Whoooosh,” went the swing as Mango soared through a cloud made of cotton candy. “Whoooosh,” it sang again as he glided past a family of fireflies having their own bedtime dance.
With each gentle swing, Mango’s eyelids grew heavier and heavier. The stars began to blur into streams of golden light, and the moon smiled down at him like a kind grandmother’s face.
“Such a sleepy little monkey,” whispered the moon. “Let me sing you a lullaby.”
And so the moon hummed the softest, most peaceful melody while Mango’s swing grew slower and slower. The magical vine carefully lowered him back to his cozy branch, where mama monkey had prepared a nest of the fluffiest leaves and the warmest moss.
Mango curled up in his nest, his tiny fingers still holding onto the vine. But now it was just an ordinary vine again—the magic would return tomorrow night, when it was time for dreams.
“Sweet dreams, my little swinger,” mama whispered, giving him the gentlest kiss on his furry forehead.
And as Mango drifted off to sleep, he could still feel the gentle rocking motion of his dream swing, carrying him safely through the night on waves of peaceful slumber.
The jungle grew quiet, except for the soft rustle of leaves that sounded just like a lullaby, keeping watch over baby Mango until morning came again.
