Once in the streets of Heaven lived a girl named Amelia.
Amelia was the brightest star that shone in Heaven. Her night gown is yellow scattered with glitters all over. As the nights went by, more and more people were amazed by Amelia, because of her unreachable beauty. The other stars were happy and proud of her, because every time she shone, she gleamed with peace.
One unusual night in Heaven, Amelia stopped shining. Everyone wondered why.
"Why are you low and gloomy tonight?” asked one star to Amelia.
“I saw a child in the world die today. He was only 7 years old, and he died because of a terrible disease. I wished to help him, but I am too young to go down to earth and search for the poor child,” said Amelia.
“Oh, I see,” replied the star.
Amelia parted ways with the other stars. As soon as she got home, she kneeled down on her knees and prayed to God.
“Lord, please help me. I want to be with the child who died, because I want to help him. I ask for this as your humble servant, for although I am a star, I am still a child of Yours. No matter how much of a shining star I am, I still need you in my life. Please help me, God. Amen.”
And as soon as her prayer ended, Amelia tucked herself in her bed sheets and slept. For once in Heaven’s history, the brightest star ceased to shine. Everyone was affected.
The next day, Amelia woke up and went outside. She saw the little boy, formerly diseased, now alive. The little boy came to Amelia and held on to her. They hugged each other, and finally, Amelia broke free of the sadness. She shone the brightest, again. Everyone was joyous, so they celebrated by forming a constellation for the world.
“Thank you, Lord,” said Amelia. She was grateful for everything that the Lord has done to her.
Then, Amelia and the little boy lived happily ever after.
