Luma's Silly Twinkle

Meet Luma, a star so tiny, she sometimes got lost in her own faint glow. "Oh dear," she'd whisper.

Nearby, Sparkle-Splutter shone with a mighty *BLING!* He was so bright, he made other stars squint.

Luma tried to shine, but only a tiny, nervous "fizz" came out. "Is that all my sparkle is?" she squeaked.

Glimmer-Giggle zoomed by, giggling. "Why did the sun go to school? To get brighter!" she chuckled.

Luna-Belle, the Moon, with her sparkly nightcap, floated near. "Luma, darling, a little more *oomph* tonight?" she suggested.

Luma worried. "What if my 'oomph' is just a 'poof'?" she whispered, hiding behind a cloud.

Down on Earth, Leo, in his rocket PJs, couldn't sleep. "It's too… *un-sparkly*!" he grumbled.

Most big stars were covered by a giant, fluffy cloud shaped like a sheep. "Baa-d night!" joked Glimmer-Giggle.

Leo spotted Luma, a tiny flicker. "Aha! A secret, super-duper small star!" he exclaimed, pointing.

Luma heard him! She blushed a little, and her light gave a tiny, surprised *POP!*

Sparkle-Splutter, still mostly hidden, sneezed from the cloud-fluff. "A-CHOO! Excuse me!"

This made Luma giggle. Her giggle was a tiny, musical *ding-dong* sound that twinkled.

Leo heard the *ding-dong*. "Is that a tiny space doorbell?" he wondered, tilting his head.
