Luna gazes at the stars, her eyes wide with wonder. The room is filled with gentle moonbeams, making everything shimmer. Suddenly, a tiny flash of light swooshes past her window and lands softly in the garden.
"Oh! Who are you?"
The little star blinks and wobbles. Twinkle, the star, whispers shyly, "I’m Twinkle. I fell from the sky. Can you help me go home?"
"Of course! Shine together, shine bright!"
A rustle comes from a bush. Out hops Milo, a shy bunny with floppy ears and a warm, twitchy nose.
"Where are you going, Luna?"
"We’re helping Twinkle find the way home. Shine together, shine bright!"
"I want to help too, but I’m a little scared of the dark," Milo whispers. Luna smiles and offers her hand.
Ollie[/@ch_4] rests on a lily pad, his shell glowing softly.]
"Why are you all out so late, friends?"
"We’re helping Twinkle get home to the sky," Luna replies, holding Twinkle high.
"Everyone has a special strength," Ollie says kindly. "Milo is quick and brave in small ways. Luna is kind and caring. And Twinkle, you shine brightest of all."
"Shine together, shine bright!"
A soft, silvery voice floats down. The Moon whispers, "If you all work together, Twinkle will find the way home."
Luna, Milo, and Ollie join hands (and paws and flippers), lifting Twinkle high. Twinkle glows brighter, lighting up their faces with joy.
"Thank you, friends! I’ll always remember your kindness," Twinkle calls, shining brighter than ever.
"Shine together, shine bright!"
"Goodnight, everyone. We’re all a little braver now," Luna whispers, drifting off to sleep.
The moon smiles, watching over her friends.
What would you do to help a friend?
Shine together, shine bright!
