Julian knelt down.
- Good evening, little star!
- My name is Gluck! I was playing ball with my older sister. We were gliding around like real shooting stars, it was fun! But all of a sudden, I skidded on a cloud, whooops ...! so here I am. My mom and my whole family are expecting me up there, she added, sighing heavily.
- Hummm ... said the little boy, dumbfounded. My name is Julian ... I must get on home quickly, I am running late. But I can't leave you here all alone, because of that stupid wolf.
Julian picked up Gluck and gently laid her inside his coat pocket.
“I wonder what a stupid wolf is ...” thought the little star.
The two new friends walked home under the moonlight. |
