All the stars were shining and
twinkling their brightest and best,
save one, and that one simply
wouldn't shine that night.
Mrs. Moon came hurrying up
to see what was wrong, but the
star only frowned darkly and
said he was tired working all
the time, and that he would far
rather be a star dancing on the
waves Of the sea.
"Those are only fairy stars, +"
Mrs. Moon told him, mot real
stars, and since you will not
shine. in the evening you must be
the morning star, and shine after
the other stars have gone to bed"
But instead of shining as he
had been told, he went to bed.
1t wasn't long till Mrs. Moon dis
covered that he was not shining,
and straightway she went to the
lazy star to scold him.
You have disobeyed my COM
mand," she said, land since you
are too lazy to even shine l will
punish you by giving you your
wish in a way. Henceforth you
