__N1__ was wide awake. The moon was up, the whole world was hushed, and a thousand tiny stars blinked hello.

🎨 __N1__ sitting up wide awake in her cosy bed at night, looking out of a big bedroom window at a sky full of stars, a fluffy ginger kitten curled beside her. Soft blue moonlight filling the room.

Then — whoosh! — one little star slipped from the sky and tumbled down, down, down into __N1__'s garden.

🎨 A single glowing star streaking down out of the starry night sky, trailing sparkles, falling toward a small cottage garden below. Wide dramatic night sky.

🎨 __N1__ kneeling in the night-time garden grass, gazing gently at a tiny glowing star with a little sad face resting on a flower; soft golden glow lighting her face; ginger kitten beside her.

'Don't worry,' said __N1__. 'I'll help you.' She cupped the little star gently in her hands. It felt as warm as morning toast.

A wise old owl blinked down. 'To reach the sky, you must climb the Tallest Hill,' he hooted. 'Follow me.'

🎨 A big friendly owl perched on a branch at night, looking down and gesturing a wing toward a tall hill in the distance; __N1__ looks up holding the glowing star. Moonlit forest edge.

They crossed a silver stream on smooth stepping stones, and the little star's glow sparkled in the water.

At the very top of the hill, a moonbeam spilled down like a shining silver slide — all the way up to the stars.

🎨 __N1__ standing at the top of a grassy hill at night, gazing up in awe at a glowing moonbeam that stretches down from the bright moon like a silver staircase up to the stars. Wide epic magical night scene.

__N1__ lifted the little star high. Up, up it floated, giggling with light, back to its home in the sky.
