Once upon a time there was a star called Taylor. She had lots of brothers and sisters. Her brothers and sisters always teased her at night because she didn’t sparkle really brightly like them. So Taylor felt really sad.
The next day, before night came, Taylor wished she was the brightest star ever. Then at night when she was the brightest star, her sisters and brothers were amazed and jealous. On earth people were amazed to see a really powerful, bright star.
The next day Taylor’s brothers and sisters couldn’t tease her because they saw what happened last night. At the end of the day Taylor was happy to be the brightest star ever.
