Madaleno Astiz: The Boy Who Couldn't Fall Asleep

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Madaleno Astiz. Madaleno was a curious and energetic boy, but he had one big problem: he couldn't fall asleep.

Every night, Madaleno would lie in bed, but his eyes would stay wide open. He would toss and turn, counting sheep and imagining all sorts of wonderful things. But no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't drift off to sleep.

Madaleno's parents were worried about him. They tried everything they could think of to help him fall asleep, but nothing worked. They gave him warm milk, read him bedtime stories, and even took him to the doctor. But still, Madaleno couldn't sleep.

One night, Madaleno's parents were at their wit's end. They didn't know what else to do. So, they decided to call the Sandman.

The Sandman is a magical creature who sprinkles sand in people's eyes to help them fall asleep. Madaleno's parents hoped that the Sandman could help their son.

The Sandman flew into Madaleno's bedroom and gently sprinkled sand in his eyes. As the sand touched Madaleno's eyelids, he felt a wave of peace and tranquility wash over him. His eyelids grew heavy, and he slowly drifted off to sleep.

Madaleno's parents were so happy. They thanked the Sandman for his help, and they knew that Madaleno would never have trouble falling asleep again.

From that night on, Madaleno slept soundly every night. He would always remember the night the Sandman came to visit him, and he would always be grateful for the gift of sleep.
