Onyx is a little musician who lives in the Arctic land. He has a small wooden music box with silver stars and a shining key hole. He loves to wind it up and play gentle tunes for his friends. One cold morning he woke up feeling bright and happy. He reached for his music box and then he felt surprise. The shining key was missing from the music box hole. Oh no, Onyx said softly with wide eyes.
Onyx felt sad and he needed help. His friend Cloud Shepherd heard his soft sigh. Cloud Shepherd is a gentle polar bear who wears a fluffy cloud. She guides stray clouds through cold Arctic skies. She smiled at Onyx and asked, “What can I do?” Onyx showed his empty key hole and explained his problem.
They stepped outside into the snowy world. Tall ice cliffs rose around them. Then they met a curious Arctic fox with bright eyes. Onyx asked the fox, “Have you seen a little shiny key?” The fox sniffed and pointed with his nose toward a snowman.
Onyx and Cloud Shepherd followed the fox advice. They came to a frozen lake under a pale blue sky. Nearby stood a tall snowman with a carrot nose and stone eyes. Onyx looked all around the snowman for the key. Cloud Shepherd gently shook the snowman’s arm. No key appeared. Footprints led beyond the snowman. Onyx felt puzzled and sad again.
They noticed small footprints leading from the snowman to a blue ice cave. The cave glowed softly in pale moonlight. Onyx held Cloud Shepherd’s paw. They stepped inside carefully. Deep in the cave they saw a gentle ghost. He was soft white and floated near the wall. In his clear hand he held the missing key. Onyx felt a little scared. He asked in a calm voice, “May I have my key back?” The ghost nodded and placed the shining key in Onyx’s paw.
Onyx felt a warm glow in his heart. He smiled and said, “Thank you, dear friend.” Ghost smiled too and floated happily. Cloud Shepherd clapped her fluffy paws. They walked out together under the starry sky.
Back at the igloo Onyx wound his music box. He turned the key and music played its soft tune. The song filled the Arctic air with magic. Cloud Shepherd danced in circles. Even the ghost listened from the cave entrance. Onyx and his friends felt joy and peace. They clapped and laughed together. The sky twinkled with quiet stars.
Onyx learned that asking for help is brave and kind. He learned that a gentle word can calm a shy ghost. He learned that sharing a smile is a warm gift.
The end.
