Story of The Star That Lost Its Spark

Late one night, as Leo gazed out of his bedroom window, he saw something unusual—a tiny star falling from the sky. It landed softly in his garden, glowing faintly. Curious, Leo hurried outside. There, sitting on a flower, was a little star with teary eyes.

“Are you okay?” Leo asked gently. The star sniffled and said, “I’m Twinkle. I fell from the sky, and now I’ve lost my spark. I can’t shine anymore.” Leo’s heart ached for the little star. “Don’t worry, Twinkle. I’ll help you find your spark again.”

Together, they tried everything. Leo held up a flashlight, but Twinkle just giggled. “That’s not my kind of light!” They tried singing songs and even jumping on a trampoline to reach the sky, but nothing worked. Twinkle sighed. “Maybe I’ll never shine again.”

Then, a soft light bathed the garden. It was the Moon, glowing brightly in the sky. “Twinkle,” the Moon said kindly, “a star’s spark comes from spreading joy. You’ve already found it.” Twinkle looked confused. “But how?”

The Moon smiled. “Leo helped you because he cared. And you made him smile by being brave. That’s your spark—bringing light to others.” Twinkle beamed, her glow returning brighter than ever. “Thank you, Leo,” she said, spinning happily.

With a final hug, Leo watched Twinkle float back into the sky, her light twinkling among the stars. As he went to bed, he whispered, “Goodnight, Twinkle.” And in the sky, Twinkle winked back.

The end.
