And the girl chased after the star. If she could reach the horizon, the star would be hers. But as she continued to chase, the star flew further and further away from her. She stopped by a stream and noticed her reflection as she drank the water. She was crying, filled with frustration at the star for fooling her. And as she stared at herself, she noticed millions of stars behind her. Above her. Beside her. She looked to the sky and saw each one. They were just as beautiful and shone just as brightly. The girl was content to lay under the nighttime sky. And for the first time, it was her mind that raced after the stars, as she was happy just to watch them from below.
