Jaouad Geffen, the Boy Who Couldn't Sleep




There once was a boy named Jaouad Geffen who could not sleep. He would toss and turn all night, counting sheep, reading books, and even trying to drink warm milk, but nothing seemed to work. His parents were worried about him, and they didn't know what to do.

One night, as Jaouad Geffen was lying in bed, he heard a strange noise. It sounded like someone was whispering his name. He got out of bed and followed the sound to the window. He looked out into the night sky and saw a star twinkling.

Suddenly, the star started to grow bigger and brighter. It got so bright that it filled the whole window. Jaouad Geffen was amazed. He had never seen anything like it before.

Then, the star started to speak to him.

"Jaouad Geffen," the star said, "I know you can't sleep. But I'm here to help you. I am the Star of Sleep, and I will give you the gift of sleep."

Jaouad Geffen was so happy. He knew that the Star of Sleep was going to help him. The star told Jaouad Geffen to close his eyes and to think of something that made him happy. Jaouad Geffen thought about playing with his friends, and about going to the park. He thought about all the things that he loved to do.

As Jaouad Geffen thought about these things, he started to feel sleepy. His eyelids started to get heavy, and his body started to relax. Soon, he was fast asleep.

Jaouad Geffen slept soundly all night long. When he woke up in the morning, he felt refreshed and happy. He got out of bed and went to the window to thank the Star of Sleep. But the star was gone.

Jaouad Geffen never saw the Star of Sleep again, but he never forgot the gift that it had given him. From that day on, he was able to sleep peacefully every night.

And so, Jaouad Geffen, the boy who couldn't sleep, became Jaouad Geffen, the boy who slept like a baby.
