Ember and the Acorn That Ran Out โ€” an animated bedtime story for kids

Ember trusted nothing new, not one bite. The whole forest dripped with berries she ignored. She kept only her one plain dull acorn.

Her friends tried new things, she never did. Then the warm colors began to fade away. Winter came, and every berry was gone.

Her one dull acorn had finally run out. Hungry and alone, she had nothing left. An old friend offered one last small berry.

Shaking, she finally took one small bite. It was sweet, nothing like she feared. Now she tasted every color the forest grew.

One brave taste opened a season of feasts.
