Moon floats closer to the window and sings a soft lullaby. The gentle tune fills Bunny's room with sweet dreams. Baby Bunny snuggles under the warm blanket. Those sleepy eyes start to close. "Goodnight, little one," Moon whispers. "Sweet dreams until morning." Moon's soft light makes the room glow with peace. Baby Bunny drifts off to sleep with a happy smile. Up in the dark sky, Moon watches over all the sleeping animals. The stars twinkle like tiny night-lights, keeping everyone safe until sunrise. The End
