The Case of the Lost Star

Mimi the white kitten walks slowly across the soft green grass in the morning. She stops when she sees a red ladybug pointing at a glowing yellow spot under a large leaf. Mimi walks closer to her friend and asks - What are you looking at?

The ladybug whispers that a tiny falling star is trapped on the wet grass. Mimi pulls out her paper magnifying glass from behind her pink bow. She bends down to look closely at the clear ball of water shining under the large green leaf

The glowing star is actually a giant round morning dewdrop. Inside the clear water drop, a tiny firefly is trapped and cannot escape. Every time the little firefly wiggles his wings, his soft tummy glows with a very warm yellow light to call for help

Mimi gently picks up a sharp dry grass stem from the ground. She carefully touches the thin surface of the round wet dewdrop. The water drop bursts with a tiny pop, splashing clear beads on the green grass. The firefly crawls out and whispers - Thank you, Mimi

Once his wings are dry, the little firefly flies happily in the morning air. Mimi tucks her paper magnifying glass behind her pink bow. The white kitten runs back to her warm cozy home, climbs onto her soft cushion, and closes her eyes to sleep
