Read the story Easy English
High up in the sky above soft white clouds lived a little star. She was small, but she shined brightly every night. The little star loved to sparkle and watch sleeping children in warm beds below. But one quiet night, the little star could not sleep. She turned left and right, opening and closing her eyes. She stayed awake thinking and shining while the world below was resting.
The little star looked up and saw the moon glowing gently nearby. She asked the moon in a tired voice why she could not sleep. The moon smiled warmly and explained that her light was too busy and bright. The moon said that when your mind thinks too much, your body cannot rest. The little star asked what she should do. The moon waved her hand and brought soft clouds closer.
The moon told the star to lie down on the fluffy clouds and breathe slowly. The star lay down on the soft cloud bed and took slow deep breaths in and out. Her bright light slowly became soft and quiet, and her eyes felt heavy. She gave a small yawn and felt sleepy. The moon watched over her kindly as the star closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
