The Adventures of Tiny Star

Trapped within Earth’s Crust



One cool summer night, a tiny star drifted away from the constellation. The star missed a cloud, slipped, and tumbled down to Earth. 



“Whoa, stop, stop,” he shouted as he tried to halt his fall to the ground. He shut his eyes tightly as he saw the ground rushing up towards him. It was a frightening sight. The Earth was jagged at its edges, offering no soft landing. 




“Oh, no,” he shouted and screamed as he struggled to steady himself and rise to where the other stars were aligned and shone brightly.








His screams pierced the ears of the animals and startled the night birds



The owls hooted, flapped their wide wings and looked around with their big, round eyes.  “Hoot, hoot, ” “What’s that?” They trembled. “And at this unearthly hour, too!” the foxes yawned. In the distance, a lone wolf howled. His voice echoed through the forest, shaking the leaves on the trees. One by one, they dropped to the ground.


The forest grew silent at the unexpected intrusion.
