Brave Star

Once upon a time, in the vastness of the night sky, there was a small, twinkling star named Lulu. Lulu lived among the other stars in the constellation, but unlike them, Lulu felt afraid of the dark expanse beyond. Each night, when it was time to shine brightly, Lulu would hesitate, afraid to leave the safety of the constellation. While the other stars gracefully glimmered, Lulu stayed dim, scared of the unknown.

One evening, Lulu's big brother, a shooting star named Susu, streaked across the sky. Susu noticed Lulu's hesitation and asked, 'Why don’t you shine as brightly as the others?' Lulu sighed, 'I'm afraid of what's out there beyond our constellation. It’s so dark and unknown.' Susu smiled gently, 'But haven't you ever wondered what adventures await beyond our cozy corner of the sky? Sometimes, being brave means stepping into the unknown.'

Lulu pondered Susu's words and realized that staying dim and afraid wasn’t making life any brighter. With a deep breath, Lulu summoned courage, deciding to venture beyond the familiar stars. As Lulu journeyed into the darkness, the unknown felt daunting, but with each passing moment, Lulu's light grew stronger and discovered wonders—galaxies, planets, and moons. Each new sight filled Lulu with awe and courage. But suddenly, a vast, shadowy nebula appeared, blocking Lulu's path back home.

Fear crept in, but then Susu appeared next to Lulu. Lulu looked over and remembered Susu's words: 'Sometimes, being brave means facing challenges head-on.' Summoning all the courage within, Lulu glowed brightly, illuminating the path through the nebula. With determination and bravery, Lulu emerged on the other side, shining even more brilliantly than before. Returning to the constellation, Lulu was welcomed by cheers and admiration from the other stars, Susu at the front embracing Lulu and saying, 'I knew you could do it!' From that day on, Lulu continued to shine brightly, no longer afraid of the unknown.
