In a peaceful little oak village, tucked safely between rolling green hills, lived a young villager named Finn. Finn loved running through the golden wheat fields all day, trading carrots and playing hide and seek behind the wooden fences. But tonight, Finn was very, very tired.
He walked into his cozy square house and looked at his bed. It was made of hard oak planks and stiff white wool. Every time he lay down, the wooden frame creaked loudly. Creak… crack… It just did not feel soft enough or quiet enough for a magical night of sleep.
“I need to find the softest, quietest place in the Overworld,” Finn whispered to himself, gently rubbing his heavy, sleepy eyes.
He opened his wooden door and stepped out into the cool evening air. The village was perfectly silent. The only sound was the gentle rustling of the oak leaves in the wind, and the soft crunch of his leather boots on the grass blocks. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
First, Finn visited the animal pen at the edge of the village. He saw a fluffy white sheep sleeping peacefully under a tall birch tree. “Maybe I can sleep next to the sheep,” he thought. He sat down leaning against the soft wool. It was very warm, but the wool was too ticklish against his nose. And then, the sheep began to softly snore. Baaaa-zzz. Baaaa-zzz. Finn smiled, patted the sheep on the head, and decided to keep walking.
Next, Finn walked toward the village bakery. The furnaces were still glowing with a soft orange light, making the stone walls feel comfortably warm. The air smelled like fresh, sweet bread baked from the golden wheat. Finn sat near the warm stone, but the crackling of the fire was too bright, and the stone floor was much too hard for his tired back.
He continued his walk under the light of the giant square moon. He wandered toward the village library. Inside, the room smelled like old paper and dusty leather books. An orange cat was curled up on a wooden chest, purring like a tiny, rhythmic engine. Purr… purr… purr… Finn sat on the small red carpet next to the cat. It was a cozy room, but there was simply not enough space to stretch his tired legs.
Finn stepped back outside. The sky was now a deep, calming indigo. Fireflies danced around him like floating yellow pixels, glowing softly in the dark. He walked past the village well and followed the sound of gentle, flowing water.
He reached a small river at the edge of the forest. Green lily pads floated lazily on the surface. A tiny green frog sat on a lily pad, looking at the stars. The sound of the water washing over the dirt blocks was incredibly relaxing. Swish… swoosh… swish… Finn felt his eyes getting heavier and heavier listening to the water, but the riverbank was a bit too damp and cold to sleep on.
Finally, Finn wandered just behind the village, where the ancient oak trees grew tall and strong. There, hidden behind a gentle curtain of green vines, he found a secret little grove.
The ground here was entirely covered in soft, glowing green moss. It illuminated the quiet space with a warm, gentle light. Right in the middle of this peaceful circle, surrounded by beautiful blue orchid flowers, was a bed. But it wasn’t a normal village bed. It was made of the finest, softest white wool and sweet-smelling spruce wood.
Finn slowly walked over to it. The grove was completely quiet, entirely safe, and perfectly still. He pulled back the soft blanket and climbed in. As soon as his head touched the blocky pillow, he felt like he was floating on a fluffy white cloud. There were no creaky boards. No bright fires. Just the soft glow of the moss and the distant, relaxing sound of the river.
He pulled the warm blanket all the way up to his chin. His eyelids grew very heavy. The gentle rustle of the leaves above sang a whispering lullaby. Finn breathed in the fresh night air… and breathed out. He was finally ready to dream.
And just like Finn, it is your turn to rest. Let your body sink comfortably into your bed. The Overworld is safe, your inventory is full of happy memories, and tomorrow brings a brand new adventure. Sweet dreams, little crafter.
