Once upon a time, there was a sleepy dog-like creature. The Creature could never get comfortable enough to sleep. After another sleepless night, it went to search for the best pillow to sleep on. Leaving it's done and Mossy bed which it would be starting Its search for a great pillow. The creature looked all over the forest around its den. The trees were too stiff from the cold of the recently ended winter and the grass was too wet from the snow. It kept looking for a pillow trying a big collection of some winter berries as a pillow but that didn't work leaving berry juice all over the creature's fur. After a while, the berry juice was making its fur sticky. So we had decided to wash off in the river. Since spring had came not that long ago so the water wasn't cold. As the creature washed its fur and waved at the fish passing by.

"Where are you guys going?" Asked the Creature with hardly any energy but happy to see others.

"To the top of the mountain so we can get a gift from the big bird." Said the oldest fish not caring about the Creature Suddenly talking to them. Hearing the fish's words the creature feels a surge of energy from those very words,

"Can I come along sir?!" Asked the Creature suddenly full of energy and excitement.

"why yes young one, you can come along with us to the mountain." Set the old fish a bit shocked by the store and energy but knows the creature was just very excited. Starting the climb up the mountain with the fish is having the hardest path of Going upstream. The creature could easily climb up the mountain due to it climbing rocks all of the time. At the base of the mountain, most of the snow hadn't melted, but halfway up the mountain cause, the snow was still there. By then all of the surfaces of the river were starting to get covered in ice. Once getting to the top of the mountain the creature helped break most of the ice covering the lake at the top of the mountain. Once done a huge bird landed on its perch near to the lake.

"what do you fishes want?" Asked the Big bird its voice booming, the fish come to the surface to speak. The fish Took a moment talking to each other about what they all wanted.

"Can we please have a movable fish tank that we can all fit in so our fish can be on land," Asked the oldest fish being the one asking their request.

"you ask and you may receive," set the bird granting their wishes. The fishes were sent into their new fish tank and they could move on land in any direction, the fish went on their way waving goodbye to the Creature and the big bird.

"now their wish is done, what do you want young creature?" Asked the big bird turning to the Creature, who is sitting on the ground waiting his turn.

"Can I please have the most comfortable pillow or item to sleep on?" The creature was excited to finally get some great sleep.

"Well, I've never heard anyone ask me for that," The bird brought down a piece of the many clouds in the sky. White as freshly fallen snow, fluffy is the wool on a mother sheep, that could never rain after collecting too much water, or ever wear out from lots and lots of use through time. Even if it's crushed by the heaviest rock it will bounce back to its shape once the rock was taken off.

"Thank you, kind sir!" Said the creature full of glee and ready for the best sleep it would ever have. "Wait before you go I have something to say about that pillow." Said the bird happy for the creature but a bit worried about the downsides of the pillow.

"What is it, sir?" Asked the Creature looking up at the bird, hugging its pillow.

"The cloud is it's going to be greatly comfortable, but anything smaller than your tooth is under it, the cloud will lose all comfort." Said the bird hoping the creature understands.

"Ok sir, but what if a tree was to grow under it?" As the creature just being curious about the downsides of it.

"it could lose all comfort, or it could stay the same." Set the bird unsure of the right answer to the Creature's question.

"Well thank you sir for the gift and I hope you have a great day, goodbye sir!" The creature said running off back to its den and using its tail to wave goodbye. Once at it then he had one of the best of nights of sleep, the creature had ever had. After three weeks a small seed of a berry tree had gotten under the pillow. The creature couldn't sleep a lot on the pillow but never found the seed. After many years the tree grew and when the creature slept on the pillow, found it even more comfortable than before. So if it's a pillow in Newberry tree the creature never had a bad night of sleep again. With that everyone lived happily ever after.
