1. The Little Star That Couldn’t Shine

Once upon a time, in a corner of the sky, lived a tiny star named Lumi. Every night, all the other stars sparkled brightly—but Lumi’s light was barely a flicker. She felt sad and wondered if she’d ever shine like the rest.

One evening, a wise old moon whispered, “Shine with what you have, not what you wish for.” Lumi inhaled courage, then exhaled her faint glow. Night after night, she practiced shining her best—no matter how small.

Soon, travelers on Earth looked up and saw Lumi’s gentle light guiding them through dark paths. Lumi realized her soft glow was enough to help others.

Moral: Even small efforts can make a big difference.

2. The Brave Little Seed

Deep in a forest, a tiny seed lay beneath the soil. Every day, the rain whispered, “Grow, little seed, and show your strength.” But the seed trembled—what if it failed?

Summoning its courage, the seed sprouted a tiny shoot and pushed upward to the sunshine. It faced wind and rain, but it never gave up. Seasons passed, and the seed grew into a sturdy sapling—then a magnificent tree that offered shade to weary travelers.

Moral: Courage grows when you take the first step, even if you’re afraid.

3. The Kind Little Sparrow

In a bustling village, a sparrow named Suri noticed an elderly tailor struggling to carry heavy cloth bundles. Though small, Suri fluttered down and offered to fetch threads and pins from her friends.

Day by day, Suri and her bird companions brought the tailor tiny bits of help—feathers for padding, soft moss for nesting his tools. The tailor’s burdens grew lighter, and his heart grew warm.

One morning, the tailor placed bread crumbs on his windowsill. Suri and her friends chirped in delight, knowing their kindness had been returned.

Moral: Small acts of kindness make the world a gentler place.
