The story

Golden leaves dance in the autumn wind. A sleepy magic fills the air, and the forest animals know it is time to prepare.

A tiny, sparkling snowflake drifts down from the gray sky. The cold wind whispers a soft lullaby through the quiet branches.

Busy paws gather soft green moss and dry leaves. Every little creature helps find the warmest treasures for their winter beds.

Deep underground, they tuck the soft feathers and dry leaves into their snug burrows, making the perfect winter beds.

A thick blanket of white snow gently covers the forest floor. Down below, the cozy burrows are warm, safe, and ready.

Outside, a cold winter wind begins to howl. Deep underground, the little animals curl up tight and close their sleepy eyes.

Heavy snow piles high over the hidden doors. Inside the dark earth, the sleepers are tucked away, safe from the freezing cold.

Snuggled tail-to-nose, the forest friends share their warmth. The freezing winter storm cannot touch them here.

In their deep, cozy sleep, the animals begin to dream. They dream of bright green fields and warm summer sun.

The silver moon shines brightly over the snowy woods. Deep down in the earth, every little heart beats slow and peaceful.

Soft snowflakes drift down like feathers, wrapping the forest in a quiet hug. Inside, the sleepers rest undisturbed.

Curled up warm and cozy, the forest animals sleep peacefully all winter long, dreaming of the sunny spring days ahead.
