Hey Koala Tots, it's time to unwind. Has this bedtime story is one of a kind? You'll meet Rapunzel, who lives high in the air, with the longest and shiniest golden hair. She sings lullabies as the sun sinks deep, while forest friends gather and drift off to sleep. So cuddle your teddy and stay tucked up tight. As Rapunzel sings softly, this clear, starry night. Once upon a time, they lived a little girl called Rapunzel. Rapunzel had the longest, brightest, most golden hair anyone had ever seen. It shone like threads of sunshine in the morning light. And when she let it fall down behind her, it stretched all the way down to the floor below. Her mum often smiled when she brushed it. Before her little girl arrived, her mum loved a leafy plant called Rapunzel. She ate it in soups, little sandwiches and fresh salads every day. She liked it so much that when her baby girl was born already with a tuft of golden hair, she knew Rapunzel would be the perfect name for her. Your hair has grown so long, she would say. I think it must be because I ate so much Rapunzel when I was waiting for you to arrive. And ever since the day she was born, her hair just kept growing and growing and growing. Rapunzel was a kind little girl with rosy cheeks, hazel, brown eyes and a wide, happy smile. She loved wearing pretty dresses and had lots of different ones to choose from. She lived with her mum and dad in a very tall house at the edge of a village, beside a beautiful forest full of pine trees, winding paths and spring flowers. The house was so tall and narrow that sometimes people said it looked a bit like a bell tower, but it was a simple house with a round painted door, huge windows and ivy growing up one side. And apart from her very, very, very long hair, Rapunzel was known throughout the village for her beautiful singing. Each night, as the day came to an end, and the sky turned peach, pink and purple, Rapunzel stood by the window in the very top room of the house, a cool, evening breeze drifted through her room and the curtains sway gently and as the forest grew quiet, Rapunzel began to sing. Her voice sounded warm and calm, just like a bedtime lullaby. It floated softly out of the window, over the rooftops and into the rest of the village, but it also floated between the trees of the forest and captured the attention of a few little listeners. After the past few months, as Rapunzel practiced singing in her room, she noticed a small group of animals would gather beneath the house at sunset. They would wander out of the forest, they quietly in the grass listening, then drift off into the most peaceful sleep, to the sound of her soothing voice. At first, it was just a duck who had waddled over from a nearby pond and was mesmerised by Rapunzel singing. Then, the duck told a lady bird, who joined and rested on a nearby leaf. Next, a soft brown bunny heard Rapunzel's gentle voice and flopped down on its side listening. And finally, a grey squirrel perched on a tree stump, its fluffy tail wrapped neatly around its feet. "That girl has the most relaxing voice I've ever heard," cracked the duck. "I've never slept so deeply," agreed the bunny rabbit. In the daytime, when the sun was shining bright, Rapunzel noticed something even more magical. The nocturnal animals who slept in the day would gather round for their afternoon nap. There was a hedgehog culled into a neat little ball, a fox stretched out along the path, its chin resting on its paws, and a badger snuggled into the grass who would listen to Rapunzel as she sang while doing her chores. "But are they all here for me," Rapunzel began to wander to herself. She just couldn't believe that all of the animals had gathered to hear her sing. And that her voice was so calming, it would send them all to sleep. "But if you heard her voice, you would know," she truly had a gift. This particular evening, as the sun was setting behind the forest, Rapunzel was feeling a little lonely. She had finished dusting her room, eating supper, and was about to begin practicing her singing. She thought she would see which animals had gathered beneath the house tonight and peered outside. She rested her arms on the window sill and looked down at the little group below. She was the same adorable familiar faces. Rapunzel smiled to herself and suddenly didn't feel so alone. "I do wish they could hear my singing a little closer rather than all the way down there," she said out loud. Then Rapunzel thought for a moment. "Well, perhaps they can," she googled. She gathered her long hair gently in her hands and tossed it out of the window. Each individual golden strand flowed down the side of the house, passed the windows, passed the ivy, and passed the door all the way until it reached the soft grass below. The animals couldn't believe how long and golden her hair was, and they all tilted their heads up curiously at Rapunzel. "If you would like to come up, you can climb onto the end of my hair. I can lift you up to my room and sing you a lullaby properly. Then, in the morning, I'll help you back down again," Rapunzel explained. The animals looked at one another in surprise, "up there," squeaked the squirrel. "That's very high," said the bunny, "but very kind," added the duck. The tiny lady bird fluttered down from her leaf, and landed carefully on one of the golden strands. "Well, if Rapunzel's voice is this calming down here, imagine how relaxing it'll be right up there," the lady bird pointed out. One by one, the rest of the animals clambered under Rapunzel's long legs. The duck climbed on carefully, and the bunny settled beside her with a little hope. The squirrel used his front legs to clutch on safely, "Hold on tight," Rapunzel called down gently. He gathered the long hair carefully in her hands, and began to lift it slowly. Hand over hand, hauling her hair back up towards her room. The animals rose off the ground, past the door, past the ivy and past the windows, higher and higher until they reached the very top. The animals looked around in amazement, they could see the forest stretching far into the distance, the treetops glowing softly in the last light of the evening. "Wow, I've never seen a forest from up this high before," said the bunny. "I've climbed some tall trees in my time, but never seen anything like this," the squirrel agreed. Rapunzel helped each of them step safely onto the wooden floor of her bedroom. The duck gave a pleased little sigh. "I must say this is exactly what I needed. I've been having a lot of trouble falling asleep lately," she said. "Yes, thank you, Rapunzel. This is so fairy kind of you," said the lady bird. Rapunzel smiled widely, "she don't have to thank me one bit." Then, in a sudden realization, she looked around her room. "Hops, I better make my room extra cozy for you all, wait there." Quickly, she gathered her fluffiest blankets, bouncy-est pillows, her codly toy for each animal, and a nightdike that projected relaxing stars onto the ceiling. "We can help you make a den," offered the squirrel kindly, "that would be lovely," replied Rapunzel gratefully. Together, they began turning Rapunzel's bedroom into their coziest little den the animals had ever seen. As Rapunzel gathered her final bits, she began harming a soft tune to herself. Rapunzel couldn't help but sing all the time, even when she was doing chores. A gentle melody floated through the room as they worked, and it immediately put the animals at ease. She started by spreading one of her biggest blankets across the floor beside her bed. The duck and the bunny stepped forward to help. They each took a corner of the blanket carefully in their mouths and tugged it outward, pulling it nice and flat across the wooden floor. "Just a little bit more," Rapunzel encouraged as she smoothed the middle with her hands. Meanwhile, the squirrel had already scampered up the tall wooden post of Rapunzel's forepost bed. He climbed higher and higher until he reached the top corner. "I can tie the blanket up here to make a roof for the den," he called down proudly. "That's a great idea," exclaimed Rapunzel. Rapunzel passed the edge of another blanket up to him, and the squirrel carefully looped it around the bedpost so it hung down like a soft roof over the den. The lady bird hovered nearby, fluttering her tiny wings. "I wish I could help," she said quietly, "but I think I'm a little too small." Rapunzel gently held out her hand, letting the lady bird land safely in her palm. "You can help in a very important way," Rapunzel said with a smile. "You can give the instructions of where everything should go." The lady bird's wings gave a little buzz the excitement. Standing proudly on Rapunzel's hand, she began giving careful instructions. "A little to the left," she called as the duck pulled the blanket. "Now a little to the right," the lady bird instructed next. Soon, the cozy den was beginning to take shape. Next up were the pillows. Rapunzel gathered a big pile of them from her bed and placed them on the floor. The animals eagerly helped push them into place. The bunny nudged one forward with his nose and the duck shuffled another into the middle with her beak. For long, the den was filled with fluffy pillows that made a soft, comfortable nest. Finally, Rapunzel reached for the little nightlight beside her bed and switched it on. A gentle glow filled the room and suddenly a ceiling sparkled with tiny golden stars that slowly drifted across the walls. The animals all looked up together in awe. "Wow," whispered the bunny. "It looks just like the night sky," said the squirrel in amazement. Rapunzel smiled as she watched their faces glow in the soft light. "I didn't want you to miss the stars outside while you were up here in my bedroom," she explained kindly. All of the little animals nodded gratefully. They did enjoy stargazing from time to time, but this felt even more special. Now that the cozy den was ready, Rapunzel handed out the cuddly toy she had gathered. The bunny was given a soft cuddly carrot which he hugged happily between his paws before curling onto his side among the pillows. His long ears folded gently over the blanket as he wriggled into the comfy spot. The squirrel chose a tiny cuddly acorn. He lay on his back with his fluffy tail wrapped around him like a blanket. The cuddly acorn tucked safely beneath his chin. The duck settled herself carefully in the middle of the den, resting her head against a plump pillow. Rapunzel placed a small cuddly bear beside her, which she tucked tightly under her wing. And the lady-bear, being the smallest of all, was given a tiny star-shaped toy. She nestled herself into a soft fold of the blanket near Rapunzel's pillar, where she could see the glowing stars dancing across the ceiling. Soon, the little den was filled with quiet rustling as he jannimled, shuffled and wriggled until they found their perfect sleeping position. "Is everyone comfortable?" Rapunzel asked softly, a few sleepy voices murmured back, "Yes, this den is so relaxing," yawned the little duck. Rapunzel sat beside them, smoothing the blanket gently with her hands. Then she began to sing them a calming lullaby. Up close, her voice sounded even more soothing than before. It was calming, soft and steady, like the gentlest lullaby the animals had ever heard. She sang about the peaceful forest below her window, about tall pine trees swaying slowly in the evening breeze, and the wind. Winding paths through the grass, as she sang the stars from the little nightlight drifted slowly across the ceiling, glowing softly above the animals. The bunny tried very hard to keep listening to the soft lullaby, but his eyes began to blink slower and slower, soon they closed and pleated. The squirrel yorned and snuggled deeper into the pillows, his tail twitching before growing still. The duck shifted her wings, took one long sleepy breath and let her head sing comfortably into the pillow. Even the little lady bird who had been watching the glowing stars with great interest felt her eyes glowing heavier and heavier. The room grew quieter. The only sound left was Rapunzel's gentle singing and the slow, peaceful breathing of the animals tucked safely in their den. Outside under the soft glow of the moon, a young prince was walking home to his castle and heard Rapunzel's sweet singing floating through the night air. He stopped for a moment to beneath the trees and listened quietly, letting the beautiful lullaby wash over him. The sound made him feel calm and peaceful straight away. One day, when both he and Rapunzel were older, he knew he would return to the tall house and ask Rapunzel to marry him. She would become a beautiful princess and sing calming lullaby to the whole kingdom. But for now, the animals were fast asleep and Rapunzel continued singing softly into the night as the moon shone high above the trees. She liked it so much that when her baby girl was born already with a tough of golden hair, she knew Rapunzel would be the perfect name for her. "Your hair has grown so long," she would say. "I think it must be because I ate so much Rapunzel when I was waiting for you to arrive." And ever since the day she was born, her hair just kept growing and growing and growing. She lived with her mum and dad in a very tall house at the edge of a village. Beside a beautiful forest full of pine trees, winding paths and spring flowers. Each night as the day came to an end and the sky turned peach, pink and purple. Rapunzel stood by the window in the very top room of the house. A cool evening breeze drifted through her room and the curtains sway gently. And as the forest grew quiet, Rapunzel began to sing.

Over the past few months, as Rapunzel practiced singing in her room, she noticed a small group of animals would gather beneath the house at sunset. They would wander out of the forest, they quietly in the grass listening, then drift off into the most peaceful sleigh to the sound of her soothing voice. Then, the duck told a lady bird, he joined and rested on a nearby leaf. "In the daytime, when the sun was shining bright," Rapunzel noticed something even more magical. There was a hedgehog culled into a neat little ball. A fox stretched out along the path, its chin resting on its paws, and a badger snuggled into the grass who would listen to Rapunzel as she sang while doing her chores. "Are they all here for me?"

"I do wish they could hear my singing a little closer, rather than all the way down there," she said out loud. Then Rapunzel thought from home, "Well, perhaps they can," she giggled. She gathered her long hair, gently in her hands, and tossed it out of the window, each in a row. individual golden strand, flown down the side of the house, passed the windows, passed the ivy and passed the door all the way until it reached the soft grass below. The animals couldn't believe how long and golden her hair was and they all tilted their heads up curiously at Rapunzel. If you would like to come up, you can climb onto the end of my hair.

One by one, the rest of the animals clambered onto Rapunzel's long legs. The duck climbed on carefully and the bunny settled beside her with a little hop. The squirrel used his front legs to clutch on safely. "Hold on tight," Rapunzel called down gently. She gathered the long hair carefully in her hands and began to lift it slowly, hand over hand, hauling her hair back up towards her room. The animals looked around in amazement. They could see the forest stretching far into the distance, the tree tops glowing softly in the last light of the evening. "I must say, this is exactly what I needed. This is so fairie kind of you," said the lady bird. Rapunzel smiled widely. "She don't have to thank me one bit. Then, in a sudden realization, she looked around her room.

"But I think I'm a little too small." Rapunzel gently held out her hand, letting the lady bird land safely in her palm. "You can give the instructions of where everything should go."

Finally, Rapunzel reached for the little night night beside her bed and switched it on.

Rapunzel laughed softly, a few sleepy voices murmured back. "Yes, this den is so relaxing," yawned the little dove. Rapunzel sat beside them, smoothing the blankets gently with her hands.

As she sang, the stars from the little nightlight drifted slowly across the ceiling, glowing softly above the animals.

The squirrel yawned and snuggled deeper into the pillows, his tail twitching before growing still. The duck shifted her wings, took one long sleepy breath, and let her head sink comfortably into the pillow. Then the little lady bird, who had been watching the glowing stars with great interest, felt her eyes growing heavier and heavier.
