    Once upon a time, in the vast night sky, there was a round and cheerful Moon. He loved to shine bright, spreading light everywhere.

    Around the Moon, there were many little Stars. They were shy and loved to twinkle in the night.

    Every night, the Moon and the Stars would share their stories and dreams. They loved each other's company.

    One night, the Stars told the Moon, 'We wish we could shine as brightly as you do.' The Moon was surprised to hear this.

    The Moon thought deeply and said, 'Each one of us is special. I shine brightly, and you twinkle beautifully.'

    'But Moon, we want to shine like you,' the Stars insisted. The Moon gave a gentle smile and started thinking of a plan.

    The next night, the Moon said, 'I have a plan. Let's play a game. The one who shines the brightest wins.' The Stars were excited.

    The game began. The Stars started twinkling as brightly as they could. The Moon noticed them with a happy smile.

    As the Stars twinkled, their light started to spread across the night sky. They looked absolutely stunning.

    The Moon was very pleased and said, 'Look at you! You are all shining so brightly. You are all winners.'

    Hearing the Moon's words, the Stars realized their own beauty. They understood that they were unique in their own way.
