All aboard the Sleepy Train! This special train runs every night, taking tired passengers to a magical place called Dreamville.
The train’s engine is the color of twilight, and it puffs out soft, puffy clouds instead of smoke. The conductor, Mr. Sandman, welcomes everyone with a gentle smile.
Tonight, a little girl named Lily is taking her first ride on the Sleepy Train. Mr. Sandman helps her find a cozy seat by a window that shows twinkling stars.
The train starts to move with a soft “chuga-chuga” sound. It’s more like a lullaby than a regular train noise. “Shh-shh, dream-dream,” it seems to say.
In the first car, the seats are made of fluffy clouds. Lily watches as passengers snuggle in, their eyes growing heavy.
The next car is full of gentle rocking chairs. Back and forth they sway, in time with the train’s movement. “Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye,” whispers the breeze.
Lily walks carefully to the hot cocoa car. Here, the air smells sweet and warm. Passengers sip from mugs shaped like crescent moons, yawning happily.
In the story car, books float in the air, pages turning slowly. Soft voices read aloud, telling tales of sweet dreams and happy adventures.
The last car is the music car. Tinkling lullabies play, like distant wind chimes. Lily feels her steps getting slower, her eyelids becoming heavy.
Mr. Sandman guides Lily back to her seat. “We’re almost to Dreamville,” he says softly. “Close your eyes, and when you open them, you’ll be there.”
Lily snuggles into her seat. She feels the gentle rocking of the train and listens to its dreamy “chuga-chuga.” The starry sky outside her window blurs into a soft, twinkling blanket.
As you lie in your bed, imagine you’re on the Sleepy Train too. Feel the cozy seat beneath you and the gentle movement of the train. Listen to its soft “shh-shh, dream-dream” sound.
Let the warmth of the cocoa, the comfort of the stories, and the sweet lullabies surround you. Your eyelids feel heavy, just like Lily’s.
The Sleepy Train carries you gently towards your own Dreamville. Mr. Sandman watches over you, ensuring your journey is safe and peaceful. Drift off to sleep, knowing that sweet dreams await at the end of your ride.
