Speaker 1 (00:00):
The star money. Once upon a time, there was a
kind little girl named Emma. She lived in a small
cottage at the edge of the woods with her family.
They were very poor and didn't have much, just a
piece of bread, a warm scarf, and lots of love.
One chilly evening, Emma wrapped her scarf around her shoulders,

(00:24):
picked up her bread, and set off into the forest.
Her family had shared what little they had, and Emma
wanted to see if some one else needed help even more.
As she walked along the path, she met a hungry
boy sitting on a rock. Hello, he said softly, do

(00:45):
you have something to eat? Emma smiled and gave him
her piece of bread. You can have it, she said, kindly,
I'm happy to share a little. Farther down the road,
she found a girl crying at the cold. My shoes
are gone and my feet are freezing. The girl sniffled.
Emma didn't think twice. She took off her shoes and

(01:08):
gave them to the girl. Here, you can wear mine now.
Emma's feet were bare and her tummy was empty, but
her heart felt warm. She kept walking through the trees
until she met an old woman with no scarf. Your
scarf looks so cozy, The woman said, I wish I

(01:29):
had one. Emma unwrapped her scarf and gently placed it
around the woman's shoulders. Now you do. The wind blew
stronger and the sky turned dark. Emma had nothing left
but her dress. Then she heard a baby crying in
a basket by the path. Emma took off her warm

(01:51):
dress and wrapped it around the baby. Stay warm, little one,
she whispered. At that very moment, something magical happened. The
sky opened up and stars began to fall from above.
But they weren't just stars, they were golden coins. They
rained down gently, landing all around Emma. She blinked in surprise,

(02:15):
and then poof, she was suddenly wearing a new soft
dress made of light and star dust. Emma laughed with joy.
The stars had seen her kindness and sent her a
special gift. From that day on, Emma and her family
were never hungry or cold again. She shared the star

(02:37):
money with others and became known as the Girl with
a heart as bright as the sky. And whenever someone
helped another, just like Emma did, the stars above twinkled
a little brighter. The end, as always, visit us at
