her brighter stars to hide during the day. The silver sparkling star was a curious spark, who, she thought was destined to find out what was to happen if one day she did not hide.

So, one night as the moon began to fade into the clouds, and the stars began to hide, the silver sparkling star, as scared and nervous as she was stayed still. In the beginning no one noticed, but then the stars couldn't find her.

They began searching in every special hiding space.

Meanwhile, the Sun that shined noticed the silver sparkling star and said "what are you doing here? The night has fallen.'' The star said, "I know, I wanted to find out why I have to hide during the day.'' The sun said "Well, do you see why?'' "No I have no idea'', said the silver sparkling star. The sun said,'' during the day I keep light on earth but, during the night you take over. The day is my job and the night is yours''. "Can I stay, said the silver sparkling star. No, I'm sorry but, without you the night will be empty but, for one day I will give you and all the stars permission to shine on earth with me.'' When all the stars heard about this, one at a time, started to shine side by side and light by light. The people on earth looked up and smiled a glow and so did the silver sparkling star.
