루루는 별이와 함께했던 모든 이야기를 들려주었어요. 신비한 숲의 친구들, 별이가 밝게 빛나며 길을 안내했던 순간들, 그리고 마지막으로 별이에게 소원을 빌었던 이야기를 생생하게 말했어요.
엄마는 조용히 듣다가 루루의 머리를 쓰다듬으며 말했어요.
"우리 루루가 정말 용감했구나. 네가 나눠준 이야기가 마치 동화 속 한 장면 같아."
루루는 엄마의 품속에서 잠시 눈을 감으며 말했어요.
"별이가 약속했어요. 내가 친구들과 행복할 수 있게 도와준대요. 정말 멋지죠?"
엄마는 고개를 끄덕이며 속삭였어요.
"별이도 네가 얼마나 특별한 아이인지 알고 있었던 거야. 네 마음이 따뜻하고 순수하니까, 별이가그렇게 힘을 내서 널 도운 거지."
엄마는 부드럽게 담요를 꺼내 루루의 어깨를 감싸주었어요.
"이제 잘 시간이야, 루루. 꿈속에서도 별이와 멋진 모험을 계속하렴."
루루는 침대에 누워 눈을 감았어요. 별이의 빛을 떠올리며 행복하게 미소를 지었어요.
“별이야, 고마워. 내 친구들과 꼭 행복하게 지낼게.”
그날 밤, 루루는 별이와 함께 다시 모험을 떠나는 꿈을 꾸었어요.
꿈속에서도 별이는 밝게 빛나며 루루를 따스하게 지켜보고 있었어요.
하늘에는 여전히 수많은 별들이 반짝였고, 그중 가장 빛나는 별은 언제나 루루와 친구들의 행복을 지켜줄 거예요.

"Lulu! Welcome back. Did you have fun with Star?" her mother asked.
Lulu excitedly waved her small hands and replied,
"Mom! Something amazing happened. I had a magical adventure with Star through the forest!"
Her mother sat Lulu on her lap, handed her a glass of water, and asked,
"Really? Can you tell me all about it?"
Lulu eagerly recounted her journey with Star. She spoke of the mystical forest friends, the moments when Star shone brightly to guide her, and finally, the heartfelt wish she made to Star.
Her mother listened quietly, gently stroking Lulu’s hair, and said,
"My brave Lulu, your story sounds like something out of a fairy tale."
Lulu closed her eyes for a moment in her mother’s arms and said,
"Star promised to help me stay happy with my friends. Isn’t that amazing?"
Her mother nodded, whispering softly,
"Star must have seen how special you are. Your heart is so warm and pure, and that’s why Star gave you its strength."
She tenderly pulled a blanket over Lulu’s shoulders and said,
"It’s time to sleep now, Lulu. Continue your wonderful adventures with Star in your dreams."
Lulu lay down in her bed, closed her eyes, and smiled as she thought of Star’s glowing light.
"Thank you, Star. I promise to stay happy with my friends, " she whispered.
That night, Lulu dreamed of another adventure with Star.
Even in her dreams, Star shone brightly, watching over Lulu with warmth and care.
The sky was still filled with countless twinkling stars, but the brightest one always seemed to be watching over Lulu and her friends, ensuring their happiness.
