How the Fairy Found the Lost Star

In a distant magical forest lived a fairy named Lumia. Her wings glowed with a soft light, and her laughter sounded like joyful music. Lumia loved the night sky, especially the stars, which always reminded her of the wonders happening around her.

One day, while Lumia was walking through the forest, she noticed that one of the stars in the sky was beginning to fade and disappear. It was a small star named Lira, who had always illuminated the night sky. Lumia knew that stars couldn't just disappear, and she decided to find Lira.

She waved her wings and flew towards the sky, hoping to find the lost star. Lumia was sure that Lira couldn't just vanish, and that she needed help. But how could she find the little star in the vast expanse of the night sky?

Lumia began her search. She flew through the forest, stopped at a tall mountain where a strong wind was blowing, and asked an owl: — Have you seen a little star named Lira? She has disappeared from the sky.

The owl listened carefully and replied: — I saw her fall in that direction, towards the lake. Maybe she's hiding there to rest.

The fairy thanked the owl and flew towards the lake. Along the way, she met a rabbit, who had also heard about the missing star.

— I saw the little star land near the lake, — said the rabbit. — Maybe she drowned or hid in the bushes.

Lumia thanked the rabbit and flew to the lake. The water was calm, and the reflection of the stars shimmered on its surface, but Lira was nowhere to be found. The fairy decided to look under the water and dived into the lake.

As soon as she submerged, she saw a glowing orb floating among the water plants. It was the star Lira! She was sitting on a rock, sadly watching the world.

— Lira, why are you here? Why did you leave the sky? — asked Lumia, flying up to the star.

— I felt like I could no longer shine as brightly as before. I thought no one would miss me. But I was wrong, — Lira answered softly.

The fairy smiled and extended her hand to the star: — Lira, each of us can be important, even if it seems like our light isn't as bright. You are special, and your light is needed by everyone in the sky. You are not alone!

With the help of her magic, Lumia lifted Lira out of the water and returned her to the sky, where she began to shine brightly again. As soon as Lira took her place, the sky began to shine once more, and all the stars twinkled, greeting their friend.

The moral of the story: Sometimes even the smallest and least noticeable beings need to be reminded that they are important. And if someone is struggling, help is always there.
