Night came softly to Toyship.
MooMoo the cow lay on the wooden deck, looking up at the stars. MooMoo the cow loved nighttime the most, because nighttime was for singing lullabies.
Some toys were still awake.
Some toys were turning and tossing.
MooMoo the cow stood up slowly, her little bell giving a gentle ting.
“I will sing,” said MooMoo the cow.
Her lullaby floated across the ship—slow, warm, and cozy. The waves began to rock in time with MooMoo the cow’s song. The sails swayed. The stars blinked sleepily.
One by one, the toys closed their eyes.
Captain Ted smiled from the wheel.
Toyship hummed along.
MooMoo the cow kept singing until the whole ship was dreaming.
Then MooMoo the cow curled up, tucked her head down, and fell asleep under the quiet sky.
And Toyship sailed through the night, carrying MooMoo the lullaby cow to a child who was waiting with love.
