Goldie and the Three Moon Bears

Goldie liked to count stars before bed, tracing little paths between them with her finger until her eyes grew heavy.
One warm summer evening, a band of silver light slipped across her bedroom floor and curled around her toes like a friendly ribbon.

It tugged gently, inviting her to follow.
Goldie slid from her blankets, tiptoed past her snoring cat, and climbed out the cottage window into the cool night.

The ribbon of moonlight wound between tall pines, over moss that felt like soft carpet under her bare feet.
Fireflies rose in slow spirals, lighting the way as crickets sang a quiet chorus in the grass.

At the edge of the forest, the trees opened into a round clearing.
Floating above the grass were three little cabins, each one gently bobbing in the air as if tied to the earth by invisible strings.

One cabin glowed a rosy pink, another shimmered like pearl, and the last one shone a deep, velvety blue.
A wooden sign swung from a hook, its letters sparkling in the moonlight.

It read, in curling script, "Home of the Three Moon Bears, Keepers of Dreams."
Goldie felt her heart flutter, a mix of excitement and calm.

The silver ribbon climbed a set of floating steps that led to the rose colored cabin.
Goldie followed, her hand resting on the railing that felt cool and smooth like polished stone.

Inside, the cabin walls were painted with tiny constellations that glowed softly.
On a round table sat three bowls of shimmering porridge, each one giving off a different kind of light.

The largest bowl glowed bright and hot, sending out curls of steam.
The middle bowl shone softly but looked a little too thick.

The smallest bowl sparkled with gentle silver swirls and smelled of vanilla and honey.
Goldie's tummy whispered, and she took a careful taste from the smallest bowl.

It was warm but not too warm, sweet but not too sweet, and it made her think of her mother humming by the fire.
Her shoulders relaxed, and the last bit of worry she had carried from the dark forest slipped away.

Three chairs waited by the table, carved from something that looked like moonstone.
Goldie tried the big one first, but she sank so deep that her feet left the floor.

The middle chair was a little better, though it felt stiff and high.
The smallest chair cushioned her just right, holding her like a careful hug.

She had barely settled when a soft creak sounded behind her.
Goldie turned and saw three bears standing in the doorway, their fur glowing like frost on winter branches.

Papa Bear was tall, with a kind face lined by years of watching the sky.
Mama Bear had eyes that shone like warm candles.

Little Bear was about Goldie's height, with a round belly and a shy smile.
Instead of growling, they all smiled in quiet surprise.

"We wondered who would follow the moon path tonight," Mama Bear said in a voice that sounded like a lullaby.
"You found the bowl that fits your heart," added Papa Bear, glancing at the smallest porridge with a proud nod.

Goldie blushed and quickly apologized for tasting their food.
Little Bear reached for her hand and squeezed it gently.

"It is all right," he said.
"Moon porridge is made to be shared."

He tugged her toward a stairway that spiraled through the ceiling.
"Come see why we live so close to the sky."

They climbed up into a round room with no roof at all.
Above them, stars burned clear and bright, close enough to touch.

Shelves lined the walls, holding glass jars filled with moving light.
Goldie stepped closer and saw small scenes inside each one.

A child hugging a plush rabbit, a baby fox curled with its mother, a ship at sea rocking gently under a friendly moon.
"These are sleeping dreams from all over the world," Mama Bear explained.

"Every night, we polish them and send them back brighter," Papa Bear said.
He lifted a jar that showed a little cottage just like Goldie's.

Inside, Goldie saw a tiny version of herself, sound asleep under her patchwork blanket.
Her father sat in a chair by the bed, turning the pages of a worn book.

Her mother stood in the doorway, a basket on her arm, eyes soft and tired but full of love.
Goldie's throat tightened, and a single happy tear slipped down her cheek.

Little Bear touched the glass, and the dream version of Goldie smiled in her sleep.
"The more comfort you feel here," he whispered, "the more comfort she feels down there."

Papa Bear guided Goldie to a crystal telescope that pointed downward instead of up.
"Look," he said gently.

Through the lens, Goldie saw her bedroom from above.
A faint glow rested on her pillow, the shape of her own sleeping head.

Her father had left a candle burning low, its light steady and patient.
A plate of sliced apples waited on her bedside table, just in case she woke up hungry.

Goldie listened, and from far away she heard the soft sound of her father turning a page.
Calm flowed through her chest like warm milk.

Mama Bear draped a cloak around Goldie's shoulders, woven from strands of night sky.
"You may stay and help us watch the dreams if you wish," she said.

"Or you may carry some of this quiet home with you."
Goldie thought about the floating cabins and the shining jars.

She also thought about her own little bed, her father's voice, and the way her mother's hands felt when they tucked in the sheets.
She took a slow breath and made her choice.

"I want to go home," she whispered, "but I do not want to forget this place."
Papa Bear smiled and opened a small silver box.

Inside lay a smooth stone shaped like a tiny crescent moon.
"When you hold this under your pillow," he said, "you will remember that the sky is watching over you."

Little Bear wrapped Goldie in a hug that smelled like cool air and pine needles.
"Come back when the moon feels extra bright," he said.

The Moon Bears joined paws around Goldie and began to hum.
The room filled with gentle music that rose and fell like breathing.

The sound became light, and the light became a path of silver leading down through the ceiling, through the trees, through her open window, right back into her room.
Goldie felt herself drift, light as a feather.

She landed on her mattress with barely a rustle.
The night cloak turned into her ordinary blanket, worn and soft in all the familiar places.

The silver stone lay in her palm.
She tucked it under her pillow, where it pulsed once like a quiet heartbeat.

Outside, the moon slid behind a cloud.
Inside, Goldie's eyelids fluttered and settled.

From then on, whenever she felt restless, she would close her eyes and breathe slowly.
She imagined the jars of dreams, the Moon Bears humming, and the telescope pointed at her little bed.

Sometimes, on very clear nights, a narrow band of silver light would touch her windowsill.
Goldie would smile in her sleep, knowing the bears were close enough to wave.

As the years passed, she told other children in the village about a gentle Goldilocks who met three friendly bears who wove dreams instead of chasing guests away.
She taught them to look up at the sky and picture someone kind watching over their sleep.

And high above the forest, three small cabins still floated in the quiet night, glowing rose, pearl, and blue.
If you listen closely on a soft summer evening, you might hear the faint sound of humming as Moon Bears stir the dreams of children who follow moonlight with brave, curious hearts.
