🌟 The Star Money 🌟
Once upon a time, there was a kind little girl named Emma. She lived in a small cottage at the edge of the woods with her family. They were very poor and didn’t have much—just a piece of bread, a warm scarf, and lots of love.
One chilly evening, Emma wrapped her scarf around her shoulders, picked up her bread, and set off into the forest. Her family had shared what little they had, and Emma wanted to see if someone else needed help even more.
As she walked along the path, she met a hungry boy sitting on a rock.
“Hello,” he said softly. “Do you have something to eat?”
Emma smiled and gave him her piece of bread. “You can have it,” she said kindly. “I’m happy to share.”
A little farther down the road, she found a girl crying in the cold.
“My shoes are gone, and my feet are freezing,” the girl sniffled.
Emma didn’t think twice. She took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. “Here, you can wear mine.”
Now Emma’s feet were bare, and her tummy was empty, but her heart felt warm.
She kept walking through the trees until she met an old woman with no scarf.
“Your scarf looks so cozy,” the woman said. “I wish I had one.”
Emma unwrapped her scarf and gently placed it around the woman’s shoulders. “Now you do.”
The wind blew stronger, and the sky turned dark. Emma had nothing left but her dress. Then she heard a baby crying in a basket by the path.
Emma took off her warm dress and wrapped it around the baby. “Stay warm, little one,” she whispered.
At that very moment, something magical happened!
The sky opened up, and stars began to fall from above. But they weren’t just stars—they were golden coins! They rained down gently, landing all around Emma.
She blinked in surprise. And then—POOF!—she was suddenly wearing a new, soft dress made of light and stardust.
Emma laughed with joy. The stars had seen her kindness and sent her a special gift.
From that day on, Emma and her family were never hungry or cold again. She shared the star money with others and became known as the girl with a heart as bright as the sky.
And whenever someone helped another just like Emma did, the stars above twinkled a little brighter.
The end.
