Polly’s Soft Candy Night

Polly was a magical little witch with a tiny purple hat and very kind eyes.
She lived in a small, warm cottage with a round window and a soft, sleepy cat.
The cat purred like a humming little song.

The moon was round and calm.
The stars twinkled like tiny bells.

And Polly could do something very special.

Polly could make candy from the air.
She could make candy from a giggle, from a whisper, from a little breeze.

She could clap her hands, smile her smile, and sweet treats would float, slow and gentle.

It was soft magic, cozy magic, bedtime magic.

One quiet evening, the sky was blue and deep.
The sun yawned and slipped behind the hills.
The wind hushed.
The flowers closed their eyes.

Polly put on her soft slippers and her tiny purple hat.

“Good evening,” she said to the sleepy cat.
“It’s a sweet night.
It’s a calm night.
It’s a candy from the air night.”

The cat purred.
Polly giggled.

She stepped outside into the hush and glow.

Polly liked to walk the little path by the pond.
She liked to wave to the ducks and whisper to the frogs.
She liked to tiptoe past the tall grass where crickets sang their tiny songs.

Tonight, she wanted to make candy for good night smiles.

Not wild candy.
Not loud candy.

Gentle candy.
Candy like a hug.

She clapped one time.
Clap.

A pink cloud of sugar puffs drifted up, slow like feathers.
The puffs were soft and fluffy.

“Hello, pink,” Polly said.

She clapped again.
Clap.

Blue drops like tiny blueberries floated around her hat.
They smelled like calm.

She clapped a third time.
Clap.

Warm yellow circles appeared, sugar moons with sleepy faces.

The candy swirled, and the air felt kind.

From the pond, a little duck waddled over.
The duck said, “Quack?”
in a quiet, curious way.

Polly knelt.

“Would you like a tiny pink puff?”

The duck sniffed with a gentle little peep.
It tasted one puff.

“Quack,” it said, happy but drowsy.

The duck waddled back to the water, where waves whispered, and it floated like a leaf.

Along the path, Polly met a shy bunny.

The bunny wore the evening like a cozy blanket.
Its ears were long, and its nose twitched.

“Hello, little jumper,” Polly said.
“Something soft for you?”

Polly twirled her finger in the air, just once, like a slow circle.

Round and round, a ribbon of caramel drifted out of the air.
It was the color of warm toast.

It curled into the shape of a little heart.

The bunny’s eyes got wide with gentle joy.

It nibbled the caramel heart and sighed a tiny sigh, the kind that means everything is good.

The bunny’s ears drooped in the best, sleepiest way.

Polly walked on.

She made tiny mint leaves for the crickets.
She made blueberry stars for the frogs.
She made a sugar lily for a little turtle who blinked very slowly.

Each candy was small and kind.
Each candy was soft and easy.
Each candy said, “Good night, good night,” like a whisper.

High above, the moon watched.

It was a friend moon, round and bright but not too bright.

“Thank you, moon,” Polly said.
“Thank you for your calm light.”

Polly lifted her hands, palms open.

From the air, sweet, slow jelly drops floated up, one, two, three, four, five.

She counted softly as they rose.

Counting felt like rocking.
Counting felt like a song.

One, two, three, four, five.

The jelly drops changed color every time she said a number.

Red like a cherry.
Orange like a warm lantern.
Yellow like a dandelion.
Green like a leaf.
Blue like a snuggly blanket.

The colors were happy but quiet.
The colors smiled without shouting.

Down the path, two owls blinked in a sleepy tree.

They were small and fluffy.

“Hoo,” they said, very soft.
“Hoo.”

Polly cupped the air and made tiny honey buttons, sweet drops that smelled like flowers.

The owls tasted the honey buttons and tucked their heads.

They liked the warm, slow sweetness.
They liked the feeling of full and safe.

Polly saw a little house with a square window.

Inside, a child held a stuffed bear and looked out at the stars.

The child waved.
Polly waved back.

She did not want to be loud.
She did not want to be bright.

She wanted to be kind and gentle.

So she whispered the secret words that make the night feel like a lullaby.

“Sweet air, soft care, candy kind and fair.”

The words were like a hug for the world.

From the gentle air, sugar snowflakes began to drift.

They did not melt.
They did not chill.

They landed on windowsills like tiny kisses.

The child smiled and yawned.

The stuffed bear smiled in a stuffed bear way.

Polly felt warm in her chest, like cocoa in a mug.

She kept walking, slow and soft.

At the garden gate, the roses yawned, and the daisies tucked their petals.

Polly touched a leaf.
It felt cool and smooth.

“You did a good job today, little garden,” she said.
“Rest, rest.”

She clapped once more, but very softly, just the barest clap.

From the air, peppermint twirls floated out, but not too many.

Just enough.

They shone like tiny spirals, and when the wind touched them, they chimed, a sweet, faraway sound, like a music box whisper.

Polly sat on a smooth rock by the pond.

The water carried moonlight like a mirror.

She dipped her finger into the air again and again, making small, round candies that looked like bubbles.

The bubbles rose and bobbed, slow and happy.

She counted again, so quiet it felt like a kiss on the forehead.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

She did not hurry.

Night does not hurry.
Dreams do not hurry.

The gentle cat padded along the path and rubbed against Polly’s knee.

“Hello, purr friend,” Polly said.

The cat blinked with long blinks.

Polly made a tiny saucer, light as a whisper, and let a drop of sweet milk candy float into it.

The cat sniffed and licked, then curled into a circle, tail to nose, and closed its eyes.

The night tucked the cat in.

Across the pond, fireflies began to blink.

One blink, two blink, three blink.

They made a glowing dance.

The fireflies liked soft candy light.

Polly lifted one hand up and one hand down.

She drew a shape in the air, like a smile.

From the air, vanilla lanterns appeared, the smallest lanterns, the size of a pea.

They glowed with a warm, creamy light.

The fireflies floated closer, curious, gentle.

The lanterns swayed in the night and whispered, “Sleep, sleep, sleep.”

The bugs blinked slow, blinked slow, blinked slower.

Polly listened to the frogs.

Ribbit.
Pause.
Ribbit.
Pause.

The sound was like a heartbeat.

She breathed with it.

In. Pause.
Out.
Pause.

Her magic felt calm and quiet.
Her magic felt ready for rest.

But there was one more sweet wish in the air, a wish so soft it was like the tip of a feather.

She followed the wish to a tiny nest.

Inside, three baby birds yawned.

The mama bird tucked her wings around them and looked at Polly with kind eyes.

“Shh,” Polly said, smiling.
“Just a little.”

She waved one careful finger and made a feather light sugar straw, clear and gentle, filled with sleepy lemon mist.

The mama bird sniffed the mist, and the nest felt safe and warm.

The baby birds folded their wings and dreamed of sky.

Clouds drifted in, comfy and round.

The moon put on a silver cap, as if to say, “It’s time.”

Polly stood and brushed her hands.

Tiny glitters fell, quiet as snow.

She whispered thank you to the pond.
She whispered thank you to the path.

She whispered thank you to the ducks and the frogs and the bunny and the owls and the little house with the square window.

“Good night,” she said, “good night, good night.”

The words felt like a blanket.
The words felt like a song.

On the way back to her cottage, Polly made one last candy, just for the sky.

She drew a small heart.

From the air, a sugar moon boat formed, soft and curved.

It floated up to the real moon and rested there, a sweet, tiny smile.

The stars twinkled as if they were nodding.

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.

Time to close.
Time to rest.

Polly opened her round window.

The cat hopped inside and made a nest on a pillow.

Polly changed into her soft pajamas, the ones with little blue dots.

She washed her hands.
She brushed her teeth.

She hummed a small tune and counted again, very slow.

One, two, three.

The counting helped the day grow sleepy.

Four, five, six.

The counting helped her heart grow calm.

Seven, eight, nine, ten.

The counting helped her eyes grow quiet.

She climbed into bed and pulled up the warm blanket.

The blanket smelled like clean sheets and a sunny afternoon.

She set a tiny candy lantern on the sill, low and sweet.

It glowed like a cozy hello and a cozy good night all at once.

She thought about the duck and the bunny and the owls and the little house.

She wished them soft dreams.
She wished the whole world soft dreams.

Polly placed her tiny purple hat on a peg and smiled.

“Thank you, night,” she whispered.
“Thank you for stars.
Thank you for calm.
Thank you for candy from the kind air.”

The cat purred.
The lantern dimmed.

The pond sang its sleepy song, far and near.

Polly closed her eyes.

The moon leaned close like a friend.

And the candy sweet night tucked her in, slow and gentle, soft and sure, until everything rested in a hush of happy dreams.
