Zeke was a brave little boy during the day, but at night, he was afraid of the dark. Every night, his mom, a kind woman with long black hair, would kiss him goodnight. But tonight, Zeke felt too scared to let her leave. He clutched his blanket, his eyes wide with fear.

Seeing his fear, his mom smiled gently. 'Hold on,' she said and left the room, only to return with a sparkling gem. 'This is a magical dream gem,' she explained. 'Kiss it, close your eyes, whisper your dream, and it will take you there.'

After his mom left, Zeke hid under his blanket with the gem. His heart raced with excitement and a bit of fear. He whispered 'dragon' into the gem and closed his eyes tight. The room around him seemed to fade away.

When Zeke opened his eyes, he was in a dark cave. But something felt different. He looked down and gasped. He had transformed into a mighty dragon! His fear turned into exhilaration.

Zeke, now a dragon, roared with joy and took off into the sky. He flew over mountains and rivers, feeling the wind under his wings. He met other dragons and played with them, forgetting all about his fear of the dark.

After a fun adventure, Zeke saw the magical gem shining atop a pile of treasure. He knew it was time to go back. He said goodbye to his new friends and grabbed the gem. Closing his eyes, he wished to return home.

When Zeke opened his eyes again, he was back in his bed. The sun was shining through his window. He felt different, braver. The fear of the dark was gone. He jumped out of bed, ready to face the day.

From that night on, Zeke was no longer afraid of the dark. He looked forward to bedtime, excited for the adventures the magical gem would bring. 'Goodnight, dragons,' he whispered, holding the gem close as he fell asleep.
