Jack loved looking at the stars before bedtime. He would count them one by one until his eyes grew sleepy, wondering if they were flowers growing in the sky.
One quiet night, as he stared at the twinkling lights, he whispered, “I wish I could pick a star and plant it like a flower.”
A soft glow surrounded him, and a gentle breeze carried the scent of night jasmine.
“Would you like to visit the Star Garden?” a soft voice whispered.
Jack’s eyes widened with wonder. “Yes!”
A path of glowing petals appeared before him, leading into the woods behind his house.
With his heart beating fast, Jack followed the shining trail until he reached a garden filled with sparkling flowers—each one a tiny star glowing softly in the dark.
A silver butterfly fluttered nearby. “Welcome, Jack,” it chirped. “We are the stars who bloom at midnight.”
Jack’s eyes twinkled. “Can I pick one?”
The butterfly smiled. “You can touch, but only if you carry dreams of love and kindness.”
Jack reached out gently and brushed his fingers over a star-flower. It glowed brighter, wrapping him in warmth.
The star whispered softly: “Thank you for being kind.”
Jack’s heart overflowed with joy.
As he explored, he met more star-flowers—each one with a tiny light and a soft voice.
“This star helps dreams come true,” one whispered.
“This star spreads calm sleep,” another sang softly.
Jack sat among them, listening to their songs of peace and hope.
“Do stars ever feel lonely?” he asked softly.
The garden twinkled in response. “We are never alone. We bloom together and light the night with friendship.”
Jack smiled and whispered back, “I want to be your friend too.”
The star-flowers shone brighter and formed a circle around him, humming a soft lullaby:
“Dreams are lights that never fade,
Kindness grows in every glade.
Shine with love, share with care,
The night will glow everywhere.”
As the moon smiled gently from above, Jack’s eyes grew heavy with sleep. The stars wrapped him in soft light, humming him into dreams filled with glowing flowers, gentle breezes, and peaceful whispers.
When he woke the next morning, the garden was gone but a soft sparkle lingered in his heart, reminding him that dreams and kindness make the night shine forever.
