    Twinkle, the little star, lived high above the clouds. He was the smallest star in the sky, and he was very shy. When the other stars shined brightly every night, Twinkle would hide behind a cloud, too nervous to sparkle.

    Twinkle envied the other stars. They were all so bright and confident. He wished he could shine just as brightly. But every time he tried, he would get too nervous and hide behind a cloud again.

    One day, a little girl named Luna moved to the village. Luna loved the night sky and would spend hours every night gazing up at the stars.

    But Luna noticed that one part of the sky was always a little dimmer than the rest. She wondered why that was. 'Maybe a star is too shy to shine,' she thought, her eyes twinkling with curiosity.

    Every night, Luna would sit by her window, looking at the sky through her telescope. She hoped to see the shy star someday. She read books about stars and astronomy, trying to understand them better.

    One night, Luna saw a faint light peeking from behind a cloud. 'Could it be the shy star?' she wondered. Excited, she decided to encourage the star to shine.

    'Hello, shy star! You don't have to hide. Your light is beautiful,' Luna said, her voice full of warmth and encouragement. Up in the sky, Twinkle heard Luna's words.

    Twinkle felt a warm feeling in his heart. He peeked out from behind the cloud, his light a bit brighter than before. Luna clapped her hands with joy upon seeing this.

    Every night, Luna would talk to Twinkle, encouraging him. And with each passing night, Twinkle would shine a little brighter. Luna's kind words filled him with confidence.

    One night, after a lot of encouragement from Luna, Twinkle finally shined as brightly as the other stars. His light filled the previously dim part of the sky. Luna was overjoyed.

    The people in the village noticed the change in the night sky. 'Look, a new star has appeared!' they exclaimed. But Luna knew it wasn't a new star. It was her friend, Twinkle, finally shining brightly.

    Luna felt a sense of pride and happiness. Her friendship and encouragement had helped Twinkle overcome his shyness. From then on, Twinkle would shine brightly every night, his light a symbol of their friendship.
