    Once upon a time, there was a boy named Sam who always dreamt of being an astronaut. His eyes were filled with stars as he envisioned his dream.

    Every night, Sam would imagine himself on a far-off planet. One night, his dream took him to a place unlike any other, a planet filled with beings who had beautiful, colorful butterfly wings.

    The planet was vibrant and magical, with rainbow-colored flowers and rivers that shimmered like liquid silver. Sam felt a sense of enchantment as he explored this new, fascinating world.

    The beings welcomed Sam warmly. They were friendly and kind, yet Sam could see a hint of sadness in their eyes. He soon discovered the reason for their sorrow.

    He began to observe the happenings carefully. Sam noticed that the disappearances only happened when a particular star shone the brightest in the sky.

    Sam decided to stay awake at night to catch the culprit. He hid behind a large, glowing mushroom, waiting for the star to shine bright.

    As the star shone brightest, a creature slithered out from the shadows. It was a Snatcher, a beast known for stealing dreams and happiness.

    Seeing the Snatcher approach one of the beings, Sam jumped out from his hiding spot. With a makeshift net, he caught the Snatcher off-guard, trapping it.
