The Sleepy Sunflower 🌻 | Stories for Kids | Moral Stories

 

In a beautiful garden, there was a little sunflower named Sunny. But unlike the other sunflowers, Sunny loved to sleep.

Every morning, when the golden sun rose, all the sunflowers stretched their petals wide to soak in the sunlight. But not Sunny.

“Wake up, Sunny! The sun is here!” called Daisy, the butterfly.

“Mmm… just a little more sleep,” Sunny mumbled, curling up tighter.

The bees buzzed around, collecting nectar. The birds chirped happily. But Sunny stayed sleepy, missing the bright sun.

Days passed, and Sunny noticed something strange—he wasn’t growing as tall as his friends. His petals weren’t as bright, and he felt weak.

One evening, Old Grandpa Sunflower, the tallest in the garden, spoke gently, “Sunny, my dear, the sun gives us strength. If you wake up early, you will grow tall and strong.”

Sunny thought about it all night. “Maybe I should try waking up early,” he whispered to himself.

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight touched the garden, Sunny stretched his little petals wide for the first time.

“Oh! This feels wonderful!” he said, feeling the warmth of the sun. His leaves felt fresh, his petals shone brightly, and he stood a little taller.

Day by day, Sunny kept waking up early, and soon, he was as tall and strong as the other sunflowers!

Now, he was the first to greet the sun every morning, smiling brightly.

Lesson: Waking up early makes you strong and happy!
