Daniel, like many youngsters, hated bedtime. Still full of energy, there were so many things he wanted to do that sleep had little appeal for the lad. His dad's arguments about how Daniel needed his sleep to restore his energy for the next day fell on deaf ears. Then his dad changed his approach and told Daniel about the nighttime dwarf who sprinkles magical sleep powder on children, which causes them to sleep and have wonderful dreams - dreams of endless adventures, journeys, and quests. A few magic words from Daniel as he lay in bed were all it took."The Dwarf Dreams" is a nice bedtime story for kids, especially those who hate to settle down and go to sleep at night. The dwarf in the story is a variation of the "Sandman" character, a mythical figure in folklore who brings good dreams by sprinkling magical sand onto the eyes of children while they sleep at night. Parents have been telling the story to their children for centuries, and it's a tried-and-true way to send their kids off to sleep.
