Bandit is a boy. His real name is Arthur Milo. He is small and kind. He is curious and brave. He has soft hair and bright eyes. He likes simple games. He likes simple sounds. He loves the warm sun in his room. He plays in his room every day. The room has a bright blue bed. The carpet is soft and red. The walls have star stickers. A yellow lamp glows softly. He has a red toy plane. He flies it in his mind. He pretends to zoom to the clouds. His first friend is Story Author. Story Author is a teddy bear. He is soft and warm. He has brown fur and kind eyes. He loves to tell simple tales. He smiles with gentle cheer. He sits close by. He claps his paws to help. His next friend is Monkey. Monkey is a little toy monkey. He is yellow and soft. He loves to laugh. He loves to swing on a rope. He likes to make Bandit giggle. He hops in circles. He has big eyes and a cheeky grin. Another helper is Map Maker. Map Maker is a small cat. She is gray and sweet. She wears a tiny map on her back. She carries a small pencil. She draws lines and shapes on paper. She loves to guide them. One day the toy plane wheel fell off. Bandit played and plinked. The wheel rolled under the bed. It hid in a dark corner. Bandit looked under. He looked around the chair. They looked by the shelf. They looked in the toy box. Suddenly a Mummy toy appeared. It was stuck in the corner. It had soft white bandages. It had two small black eyes. Bandit felt a little shy. Monkey said, Do not fear. Map Maker said, It is just a toy. Story Author hummed a calm song. The Mummy toy held the wheel. It pushed it forward. Bandit reached to take it. He felt glad. He said, Thank you. Monkey clapped. Map Maker nodded. Story Author smiled. Bandit set the plane on a small table. Story Author brought a bit of glue. Monkey held the wheel. Map Maker drew a map of the fix plan. Bandit pressed the wheel in place. They waited a little. They listened to a calm tune. Then the glue dried. The plane was fixed. Bandit turned the wheel. The wheel moved. The plane rolled. Bandit clapped his hands. His friends cheered. They danced in a circle. They sang a happy song. They felt joy. Bandit gave each friend a shiny sticker. He gave Story Author a gold star. He gave Monkey a banana sticker. He gave Map Maker a pencil sticker. He gave the Mummy toy a bandage sticker. Each friend beamed. They all hugged. Bandit closed his eyes. He flew the plane in his mind. The plane zoomed to the clouds. It soared above the bed. It soared above the chair. It soared above the lamp. It landed on a soft pillow. He caught it gently. At night Bandit felt happy. He crawled into his cozy bed. He hugged his plane tight. He hugged his friends close. He drifted into a dream. In the dream they flew together. They saw bright stars. They felt the cool night wind. In the morning the sun shone. Bandit woke with a smile. He hugged his plane once more. He hugged his friends again. He said, I love you all. They said, We love you. Bandit felt safe. He felt loved. Bandit knew he was brave. He knew he was kind. He knew he had good friends. He knew his room was a safe place. He smiled and was ready to play again. The end. Good night and sweet dreams. Tomorrow brings new fun. Yes. Bandit and his friends smile and drift into a calm hush. The room is quiet and safe. They rest and dream of new play. Tomorrow is bright.
