Miss Shifra the Molly Doll is a little ballerina doll. She is shy but brave. She lives in a tall treehouse. She wears a pink tutu. She practices a ballet every day. She stands on her toes. She twirls and smiles. She has soft brown eyes. She has curly hair made of yarn. She loves to dance by the window. She hears birds sing outside. She feels happy.
Her best friend is Teddy Bear. Teddy Bear is soft and warm. He has a golden fur and a red bow. He is loyal and playful. He watches Miss Shifra dance. He claps his paws. He cheers with a gentle growl. He loves to help. He loves to hug.
One sunny morning Miss Shifra wakes up. She needs her blue ribbon. She puts the ribbon in her hair for a special show. She cannot find it. She looks on her shelf. She looks on her pillow. She looks on the wooden floor. She looks in a small box. She looks under a cushion. She looks inside a drawer. She looks everywhere. She feels sad.
Teddy Bear sees her frown. He says, Let us find it together. Miss Shifra nods. She smiles a little. They start a search. They walk by a small table. They climb on a soft blanket. They peek behind a tiny chair. They tiptoe near a picture frame. They search inside a red cup. They search inside a green cup. They search a pocket in the curtain. They laugh when they hear a squeak.
Suddenly they hear a giggle. They turn and see the Toy. The Toy is a little wind-up train. It spins in circles. It whistles a tune. It has the blue ribbon tied to its chimney. The Toy is playful but it can tease. The Toy giggles again. It chugs away with the ribbon.
Miss Shifra gasps. Teddy Bear growls softly. They run after the Toy. They rush across the wooden floor. They step over a small rug. They reach the train on a low shelf. Miss Shifra says, Please may we have our ribbon? The Toy stops and whistles. It tilts its head. It seems surprised.
Teddy Bear steps forward. He says, We need it for our dance. The Toy nods its little engine. It hands back the ribbon. Miss Shifra claps her hands. She picks up the ribbon. She ties it in her hair with care. She thanks the Toy. She thanks Teddy Bear.
The sun shines through the window. The treehouse glows with warm light. Miss Shifra and Teddy Bear turn on a small music box. A soft tune plays. Miss Shifra stands tall. She leaps and lands softly. She twirls like a spinning star. Teddy Bear watches. He cheers with joy. Miss Shifra bows low. She feels proud.
Every evening they practice in the treehouse. They dance under the twinkling stars. They sip sweet berry juice. They rest on plush cushions. They talk about their day. They count five deep breaths. They stretch arms high. They stretch legs wide. They feel calm. They feel happy.
At the end of each day Miss Shifra earns a tiny golden medal. The medal has a star and a ribbon. She pins it to her tutu. She smiles at Teddy Bear. He smiles back. They cuddle under a soft quilt. They whisper good night. The moonlight drifts through the window. The treehouse feels safe. Miss Shifra closes her eyes. Teddy Bear hums a gentle tune. They dream of dancing tomorrow. The end.
