The Little Star

Once upon a time, there was a small star named Stella. She lived in the vast universe with her countless siblings. While most stars shone brightly and proudly, Stella felt different. She was tiny compared to the others and could barely be seen from Earth. Every night, she would look down at the planet below and dream of being noticed.

One day, an old meteor passed by Stella. The meteor had traveled through the cosmos for millions of years and knew many secrets of the universe. Seeing Stella's sadness, he asked, "Why do you look so disheartened?"

"I wish I could shine like my big brothers," Stella replied softly. "No one ever notices me."

The meteor smiled gently. "Stella, every star has its own purpose. Your light may not be as bright as theirs, but it still matters. Do you see that little village on Earth? It’s surrounded by darkness, and no one can find their way."

Stella nodded. "Yes, I see it."

"Your light is just enough to guide those lost souls safely home," said the meteor. "Sometimes, it’s not about how much you shine, but where your light is needed most."

Inspired by the meteor's words, Stella decided to focus on her role. Night after night, she shone brightly over the village, guiding travelers back to safety. People began to notice the faint but steady glow in the sky and called it "The Guiding Light."

Over time, Stella realized that even though she was small, her unique light made a difference. Her story spread across the galaxy, inspiring other small stars to embrace their own roles. Stella became a symbol of hope and reminded everyone that every star, no matter how small, plays an important part in the grand tapestry of the universe.

And so, Stella continued to shine—not because she wanted to outshine anyone else, but because she found joy in knowing she helped bring light to those who needed it most.

Moral: True greatness lies not in size or strength, but in finding your purpose and using it to make a positive impact.
