The most magic star was so magic that it shone from outer space and could be seen across the whole universe. So magic, in fact, that it made the night turn into day ... and made the clouds just float away. The most magic star was so magic that when it twinkled, it rocketed around the planets like a meteor. It changed colour - red when it passed Saturn, white when it passed the Moon. The most magic star was so magic that it could circle the universe in seconds. Very soon, the most magic star had bounced it's way around the entire Solar system ... and landed back on Earth with a bump. The most magic star then lit up the craters and shone like a light bulb. It glowed in the dark and warmed up the North Pole until the icebergs melted and there was no more snow. The most magic star made the glowworms glow ... and the eyes in the birds twinkle, too. The most magic star was so magic that when it twinkled in winter - it made the sun shine in summer. So magic that when it fell from the sky, it bounced back up - right up high. Magic.
