Once upon a time, in a sky filled with countless stars, there was a little star named Sparkle. Unlike the other stars, who were content shining in the same spot every night, Sparkle was curious. She often gazed at the Earth below and wondered what it was like.
One night, Sparkle noticed a tiny boy standing alone by a lake. He looked up at the stars, whispering, “I wish I had a friend.” Sparkle’s heart twinkled with excitement. “What if I could be his friend?” she thought.
With a bit of magic, Sparkle drifted down to Earth, landing softly beside the boy. “Hello,” she said, glowing brightly. The boy’s eyes widened in surprise. “Are you… a star?” he asked. Sparkle nodded, “I saw you were lonely and thought I could help.”
The boy, whose name was Leo, smiled for the first time in days. He and Sparkle spent the night talking, playing, and chasing fireflies. Sparkle shared stories of the galaxy, while Leo taught her about Earth.
As dawn approached, Sparkle felt herself growing dim. “I need to return to the sky,” she said sadly. But Leo wasn’t upset. He pointed to the lake and said, “Whenever you shine, I’ll see you reflected here, and I’ll know you’re still with me.”
From that day on, Sparkle shined the brightest in the sky, and Leo never felt alone again.
