Deep in the sky, where the stars twinkle like tiny lanterns, lived a mysterious painter named Liora. Every night, while the world slept, she dipped her brush into jars of glowing colors and painted new stars into the sky.
But Liora had a secret. She didn’t just paint stars—she gave each one a wish. Whenever a child on Earth made a wish, she carefully painted a new star to hold it.
One night, a little boy named Orion lay in bed, staring out his window. He wished for a star that would always shine, even when the clouds tried to hide it. Liora heard his wish and smiled. She picked her brightest color, painted the star with extra care, and whispered, “Shine forever.”
The next night, Orion looked up and gasped. A brand-new star twinkled just above his house, never fading, no matter how dark the sky became.
Some say that if you look closely at the stars, you can still see Liora’s brushstrokes—tiny trails of light where wishes come true.
The End.
