A story about Nap Time
for your Kindergartener.
Calamity Kate rests against a big hay bale in the barn. The sun shines brightly, and a warm breeze tickles her cheek. She smiles, feeling peaceful and happy this morning.
She hears a soft nicker behind her and turns to see her horse, Rusty. They have been trotting around the fields all day. Now Kate can hardly keep her eyes open!
A neat stack of hay stands tall, ready for any sleepy heads who need a soft spot to rest. The straw looks cozy enough for a peaceful break.
Calamity Kate yawns and waves to Rusty. “Let’s take a break, Rusty,” she says. But her horse tosses his head. He does not want to stop playing yet.
Rusty prances in circles, stamping his hooves on the barn floor. He feels too excited to settle down for a nap.
Calamity Kate rubs her eyes. She knows a rest will help them both. She whispers, “It’s okay to rest when you feel tired. A little nap gives us energy.”
A shiny horse saddle rests on a wooden rack, waiting patiently for the next big adventure. It gleams under the soft light.
Calamity Kate pats Rusty’s neck. “Trust me, buddy,” she says. “Sometimes we all need to slow down. Let’s sit together.”
