## The story text
At bedtime, a tiny tap made everyone wonder. At bedtime, a tiny tap made everyone wonder. There was a big shadow in the cave near by the village hill. What could it be? A second soft clue waited nearby, as tiny as a wink. Tip-tap, soft and small. Tip-tap, home we go. The path crossed the blue chair, the moonlit rug, and a little basket by the window. Then came the gentle surprise: the little sound was making a tiny path for a friend. The little friend helped right away, tucked the tiny clue into a cozy spot, and smiled. At last, everything felt warm and close. Softly, softly, home we go. The tap was back where it belonged.
