The Girl Who Slept in a Whale’s Smile – How Mira Drifted Off Beneath the Sea with Gentle Giants
Large text for little eyes.
Once upon a time, in a quiet village by the sea, there lived a gentle girl named Mira. She loved the ocean more than anything; its waves, its winds, its whispers. Every night, she would fall asleep listening to the sound of the tide brushing the sand, as if the sea were singing just to her.
But Mira often dreamed of going further, beyond the horizon, where the stars touched the water and sea creatures told stories only the moon could hear.
One starlit night, when the tide was especially high and the moon hung low, something magical happened.
The Whale Beneath the Moon
As Mira tiptoed to the shore, she saw something shimmering beneath the waves, a giant shape rising silently from the sea. It was a great blue whale, its back smooth as polished stone and its eyes full of ancient kindness.
The whale opened its mouth wide, not to swallow, but to smile.
Inside, where others saw teeth and darkness, Mira saw something different: a soft, glowing space, lit by tiny sea lanterns, lined with coral pillows and driftwood dreams.
The whale blinked slowly and hummed a low, deep song that made the stars shimmer. Without a word, Mira stepped forward, curled up inside the whale’s peaceful smile, and closed her eyes.
Rocked by the Ocean’s Hum
The whale swam gently beneath the moonlight, rocking Mira as softly as a lullaby. The rhythm of the waves, the quiet pulse of the deep sea, and the whale’s calming song made her feel lighter than air.
As she slept, Mira dreamed of underwater meadows, bubble-blown castles, and cloudfish that swam between sky and sea. She met jellyfish who glowed like lanterns and seahorses who danced in spiral formations.
All the while, the whale’s hum wrapped around her like a blanket made of tide and moonlight.
A Goodbye and a Gift
By morning, the whale returned Mira to the shore just as the first rays of sun touched the waves. She stretched and yawned, her heart full of dreams too big for words.
The whale dipped beneath the surface once more, but not before leaving behind a tiny shell-shaped pendant, glowing faintly with the hum of the sea.
From that day on, Mira wore it close to her heart. And whenever she needed calm, she’d close her eyes, press the shell to her ear, and hear the whale’s soft, smiling song. So if you ever hear the sea hum at night, listen closely. It might just be the smile of a whale… carrying someone to dreamland beneath the stars.
The End !
