David is a little boy in a grand palace. He wears a soft blue shirt and red shoes. David feels happy in the tall rooms. He smiles at painted walls. He touches golden knobs on doors. He hears gentle music in the halls. One sunny day, David meets a kind prince. The prince is his friend. The prince laughs with a bright sound. They hold hands and run. They run past tall pillars. They skip on smooth floors. David has a small golden crown made of paper. The crown is shiny and bright. He places it on his head. The prince watches with wide eyes. They pretend to be kings. They dance in a circle. Suddenly the crown slips off. It rolls down a long hall. It slips under a large bed. David looks behind velvet curtains. He looks inside a red chest. He cannot find the crown. He feels a bit sad. The prince pats his back. David says, Let us find it together. The prince nods his head. They search room by room. They peek in a tall vase. They look in a carved box. They search under a soft pillow. They climb down a low stair. They look behind a golden chair. They cannot see the crown yet. They keep looking calm. They call, Please help us find our crown. They hear a soft woof. A little dog runs near. The dog wags its tail. David smiles at the dog. The dog sniffs the floor. The dog tilts its head. The dog spots the crown. He picks it up gently. He carries it to David. David claps his hands. The prince cheers aloud. David thanks his friend. They step into the palace garden. The garden is full of flowers. They see red tulips. They see white daisies. They see bluebells too. Butterflies flutter near. They sit on soft green grass. David holds the crown close. The prince sits by his side. They share sweet berries. The berries taste good. They giggle with delight. The sun shines warm on their faces. A gentle breeze flows by. Leaves dance on the ground. Birds sing soft songs. David and the prince hum along. They feel calm and safe. Evening light colors the sky. The palace glow is warm. David holds the prince’s hand. They walk to the big door. They hear soft footsteps in the hall. David leans close and smiles. The door creaks as it opens. They enter the bedchamber together. David yawns a big yawn. The prince offers a pillow. David hugs a soft toy. He feels safe in the palace. He rests his head gently. David whispers, Thank you, friend. The prince whispers back, Good night. A soft lullaby begins. The palace music box plays. David closes his eyes. He dreams of happy play.
