Now,

Curl the feet,

Tuck the toes in.

Then simply relax,

Rest,

Relax all of you.

Get more and more comfortable.

So the story of the Magic Sleeping Tent.

Let me introduce you to this magical tent.

It was made by hand by a gifted toy maker called Davey,

Whom was thinking of going on holiday and having a break from making toys.

He wanted a tent,

A magical tent,

So good,

He would never ever want to replace it.

So Davey,

The toy maker,

Decided to use his gift to make a magical sleeping tent.

A big tent was good,

For his fondness of animals meant more room was needed inside.

So a tent you can stand in and walk around in.

Full of fun and magic of course.

The colour on the outside matched wherever it went,

Known as camouflage.

But the inside was jam packed in all the colours around the world.

He made it glow at night from the inside,

And it really kept the warmest when night falls.

The rooftop is completely see through.

After all,

Star gazing was essential just before falling to sleep.

Nothing quite like seeing and counting the stars before closing your eyes to sleep.

The tent was naturally guarded,

For when it was made,

Davey made a protector from the same cloth.

The protector,

The guard,

Kept awake whilst asleep inside.

It also opened and closed its front door automatically,

For its guest,

Which was handy when hands are full carrying your stuff in.

Yes,

Stuff to put in the tent,

Such as the sleeping bag,

The fluffy pillow,

The teddies and toys,

The books and comics,

And something to eat,

Sweet and savoury,

And a drink or two.

Anyway,

Once all was in place,

And a few night tortures of course,

What was really cool about this big magic tent,

That once asleep,

It ups itself and goes on unusual holidays at night time.

The tent particularly light a good mountain view,

And would land on some cliff edge after securing itself.

The more scenery the better,

So the height of a mountain did it well.

Certain birds amused the tent,

And loved really big birds,

Especially the eagle family.

The climbing goats were pretty cool,

And the misty clouds made everything look so heavenly.

The scenery each tent night is cleverly sent inside into your dreams.

It was the perfect sleep for glorious dreamy locations,

And fully rested all night long.

The tent maker,

Davy,

Even had a small tent balcony,

That created in your dream of course,

A place to sit,

Just outside to take it all in.

Davy also made two special rocking chairs,

That are huge,

So you can get really comfy,

Perhaps add a night blanket on it.

The huge rocking chairs also rocked sideways,

Instead of back and forth.

For rocking sideways is far more fun,

It always makes the tummy very happy,

Creating little giggles.

Another of the tents special night places is the big desert.

Obviously lots of sand here,

And buckets were scooped onto the tent balcony to dip your toes in and run your fingers through the sand.

Watching the camels with their big eye lashes and humps on their back was absolutely fascinating.

The tent is super waterproof and super windproof,

And is very fond of tiny islands,

Where only birds and animals live.

Animals like the tent too,

And some would for fun,

Stop over and share stories of their own.

So the question is,

Where will the tent go tonight,

Once you have truly fallen asleep?

One thing is for sure,

Every night will be another new place it shall find.

So when you have looked at your comics and books in this tent,

When you have had your snacks and drinks in this tent,

When you have put teddy and toys to bed,

When you have said good night counting the night sky of stars,

Then it's time,

It's time for you to snuggle down into your sleeping bag.

Rest well on your pillow,

Curl the feet,

Tuck the toes into the bottom of the sleeping bag.

Let sleep and dreams welcome you,

For the tent is ready,

And particularly listens to children for new ideas to make the tent even more fabulous.

And for now,

For a new holiday night adventure,

A new location,

The tent wishes you happy great dreams together,

And will take you there as you fall fast asleep.

Sleep well in this magical sleeping tent.

Good night.
