nce there was a star who loved to sparkle in the dark night her name was cherrie she was a beautiful blue star the trouble was when she went to sparkle in the night nobody else came to sparkle beside her all the other stars didn't like cherrie and were very mean to her

one night cherrie went over to them and said one of the stars called Plum " would you like to go over by the moon and sparkle?"
then Plum replied "NO, I don't like you, I am a purple star and you are blue, all my friends are purple like me and you are too young to sparkle with a cool star like me"

After that experience Cherrie was so upset that she went to see her favourite friend 'The Yellow Sun' she told him what Plum had said and then started to cry she cried so much that her colour was no longer blue it turned into a lovely Orange colour and she grew bigger she didn't know what was happening to her
the Sun explained that she was becoming an 'Orange musket Star' which was better than any ordinary star like Plum was
She finally stopped crying and said "I am going to see Plum again then I will sparkle by the moon and I won't mind if nobody sparkles with me
When she got to where Plum and all the other stars were she said to them
" I think it was very mean of you to say those things, but I don't really mind anymore be cause I am an 'Orange Musket Star' and I'm brighter than you and can still sparkle in the daylight! now I am going to sparkle by the moon you may come and join me if you like but I don't think you will because you said you didn't like me Goodbye."
"Wait"shouted another star called Violet
" On Behalf of Plum I am very sorry may I sparkle by you and the moon?"
"You are very welcome too, Let's go"
"ok"

The End
