Once upon a time, in a small, sunlit room at the end of Maple Lane, lived a tiny hamster named Hazel. She was soft, golden, and very curious, especially about the stars. Each night, Hazel would climb to the top of her cage and press her little paws against the glass. She’d look up at the night sky, her eyes twinkling like the constellations above.

“I wish I could go up there,” she whispered, “past the clouds, past the moon… all the way to the stars.” While other hamsters dreamed of sunflower seeds and tunnels, Hazel dreamed of galaxies, rocket ships, and planets made of stardust.

Hazel’s Dream Takes Flight

One quiet night, as the world around her fell asleep, Hazel saw a flash of silver in her room.

A miniature rocket, no bigger than her wheel, landed gently on her windowsill. Its hatch opened with a soft whoosh, and a voice called out, “Hazel, are you ready for an adventure?” Hazel’s heart raced with excitement. She scurried aboard, and with a gentle rumble, the rocket soared into the sky, leaving trails of glitter behind.

The stars welcomed her with a wink. Hazel was no longer just a hamster, she was Captain Hazel, the starry-eyed explorer.

New Friends Among the Stars

As Hazel drifted through the Milky Way, she met three giggling space creatures shaped like jellybeans. “You're the first hamster we've seen in space!” they cheered, spinning in slow circles.

Hazel shared stories of her cage back on Earth and showed them how to roll like a hamster ball. In return, the space creatures taught her a cosmic lullaby, made of sparkling notes and stardust whispers. Hazel had never felt so peaceful or so sleepy.
