Woolly's Dream

In a cozy meadow, fluffy sheep danced under the bright blue sky. They loved to munch on sweet green grass and play hide-and-seek among the daisies.

One little sheep named Woolly had the softest coat of all! Woolly dreamed of being the best jumper in the meadow.

With a hop, skip, and a jump, he leaped over flowers and rocks, making all his friends cheer! “Baa-rilliant!” they shouted.

Woolly learned that with a little practice and a lot of fun, he could be anything he wanted. So, let’s jump into our dreams, just like Woolly the sheep!
