Once upon a time, far above the clouds, in the velvet sky, there lived a little star named Luma. She was the tiniest star in her constellation, but she sparkled the brightest - until one night, she didn't.
Luma woke up and noticed her light had dimmed. No matter how hard she twinkled or spun, her glow wouldn't return. "Oh no," she whispered. "What if the sky forgets me?"
She floated to the Moon, who was polishing craters with a silver cloth. "Moon," she asked, "have you seen my shine?"
The Moon looked kindly at her and said, "Sometimes, little star, the light inside needs rest. Even stars must slow down."
Unsure, Luma drifted over to the North Wind, who was whistling over mountain tops. "Have you seen my shine?" she asked.
The North Wind blew gently and replied, "Your shine comes from joy, little one. Maybe you need a reason to smile again."
So Luma visited the Earth below, floating quietly over sleeping towns, snowy forests, and gentle oceans. She saw a child looking out their window, eyes wide with wonder.
"Make a wish," whispered the child, gazing at the sky.
And the wish floated up, light as air, and touched Luma's heart. It was a wish for love, peace, and a hug for everyone in the world.
Suddenly, warmth bloomed in Luma's core. She sparkled - brighter than ever. Her shine had returned, not from spinning or trying, but from being part of something bigger.
From that night on, whenever someone made a wish to the stars, Luma would twinkle back, reminding them that even the smallest star can shine the brightest with a little love.
And with that, she danced back into the sky, lighting dreams for anyone looking up.
The End.
