Kylie the Koala’s Big Dream
Large text for little eyes.
Kylie the koala loved three things: munching eucalyptus leaves, taking long naps, and scratching her fuzzy ears. She was the sleepiest, happiest koala in the whole gum tree forest.
One afternoon, after filling her tummy with crunchy leaves, she curled up for a nap. But this time, her dream was different.
She floated into a magical land where eucalyptus trees grew endlessly in every direction. The leaves sparkled in the sunlight, and the branches bent down politely, offering her snacks.
“This is amazing!” Kylie squeaked. “I’ll never run out of food again!”
She stuffed her cheeks until they looked like tiny balloons. Then she found a eucalyptus slide that whooshed her straight into a leafy pile. It was the best dream she had ever had.
An Unexpected Twist
But suddenly, a booming voice echoed: “STOP, LEAF MONSTER!”
Kylie blinked. Leaf monster? She looked down; her fur was covered in so many eucalyptus leaves that she looked like a green, wobbly bush on legs.
A group of kangaroos bounced up, pointing. “Quick! Catch the leaf monster before it eats the whole forest!”
“Oh no!” Kylie gasped. “I’m not a monster, I’m just hungry!” But when she tried to explain, she hiccupped a eucalyptus leaf right out of her nose. The kangaroos gasped even louder.
Kylie ran, her little koala legs moving as fast as they could. She scampered past wombats, emus, and even a dingo, all of whom joined the chase. “The leaf monster is escaping!” they cried.
Waking Up to a Surprise
Kylie tumbled, rolled, and finally landed in a giant eucalyptus pillow. She peeked out nervously, only to see the forest animals laughing.
“Gotcha!” said a kookaburra between cackles. “You’re not a monster—you’re just the funniest koala we’ve ever seen!”
But just as Kylie was about to laugh too… she woke up.
Blinking in the warm sunlight, she realized she was still perched in her real gum tree. The dream forest, the chasing kangaroos, and her leafy monster disguise had all disappeared.
“Well, at least I’m not being chased anymore,” she sighed, grabbing another leaf. But then she noticed something odd. Her fur was actually covered in eucalyptus leaves, real ones stuck from her nap!
“Oh no,” Kylie giggled. “Maybe I am the leaf monster after all!”
A Dream to Share
When Kylie climbed down to tell her friends about her wild dream, the kookaburras laughed so hard they nearly fell off their branches. The kangaroos bounced in circles pretending to chase her again, and even the wombats rolled on their bellies, giggling.
From that day on, Kylie’s nickname was “Leaf Monster.” But she didn’t mind. Every time someone called her that, she remembered her silly dream and laughed along.
And secretly, every time she napped, she hoped she would return to that magical land of endless eucalyptus trees, where she could slide, munch, and laugh forever.
The End !
