Little Llama and the Star He Shared
The night was crisp and clear. High in the mountains, the air felt fresh and cold. Snow covered the ground like a fluffy white blanket. All the animals in the forest were cozy in their homes. Little Llama’s name was Lobo. He had the softest, warmest fur. He was getting ready for bed inside his cozy cave.
His mama gave him a warm drink. “Time for sleep, mi peque?o Lobo,” she whispered. (My little Lobo). “But the sky is so pretty, Mama,” Lobo said. He looked out the cave opening. The stars were shining. They looked like a thousand tiny diamonds on dark velvet. One star shone brighter than all the others. It twinkled right above the tall pine tree. “It is so beautiful,” Lobo sighed.
“It is,” his mama agreed. “That star seems to be shining just for you tonight.” She kissed his head. “Now, close your eyes, cari?o.” (Sweetheart). Lobo tried. But the light from the bright star peeked through his eyelids. It was a friendly, gentle light. It seemed to be calling him. Lobo crept quietly to the cave entrance. He looked up at the shining star. “I wish I could share you,” he whispered to the star. “You are too beautiful to keep for myself.”
As soon as he said the words, something wonderful happened. The bright star winked. A tiny, shimmering piece of it floated down. It drifted through the cold air, soft as a snowflake. It landed right on the tip of Lobo’s nose. It was warm! It was a little piece of star-light. Lobo’s heart felt full of joy. He knew what he had to do. He had to share it.
He walked carefully through the quiet snow. His feet made a soft crunch, crunch sound. First, he went to his friend Conejita’s burrow. The little rabbit was already in her bed of leaves. “Conejita,” Lobo whispered. “I have a gift for you.” He leaned close. The bit of star-light on his nose glowed. It lit up Conejita’s dark burrow with a soft, gold light. “Oh!” she gasped. “It is like a tiny sun! It is so warm. Thank you, Lobo.” She smiled, and the star-light reflected in her eyes. Lobo felt happy. He had shared the light.
He walked on. The piece of star was still on his nose, glowing. Next, he visited Se?or Tejón, the old badger. The badger was reading a book in his sett. “Se?or Tejón,” Lobo said softly. “This light is for reading.” The badger looked up. The star-light fell on his book pages. Now he could see the words perfectly. “Maravilloso!” he exclaimed. (Wonderful!). “This is the best gift for an old reader. Thank you, little friend.” Lobo’s heart felt even warmer.
He shared the light with the owls in the tree. They hooted softly with delight. He shared it with the mice family. The little mice pups giggled at the pretty glow. Every time Lobo shared the star-light, it did not get smaller. It grew brighter. Soon, it was not just a speck on his nose. It was a small, gentle ball of light floating in front of him, leading the way.
Finally, Lobo came to the edge of the forest. There was a small, quiet house there. In the window, he saw a little girl. She was looking out at the dark night. She looked a little lonely. Lobo walked right up to the window. The ball of star-light floated with him. The little girl’s eyes grew wide. Lobo gently pushed the light with his nose. It floated through the closed window, like magic. It went right to the little girl.
She held out her hands. The light settled in her palms. It was warm and kind. She laughed a happy, tinkling laugh. “For me?” she whispered. Lobo nodded his furry head. The little girl placed the light in a jar on her table. It filled her whole room with a cozy, golden glow. She no longer looked lonely. She looked peaceful and glad.
Lobo turned to go home. He was a little tired now. His sharing adventure was over. He looked up at the sky. The big, bright star was still there. It seemed to shine even brighter now. And then, Lobo saw something amazing. Wherever he had shared his piece of star-light, a new, tiny star now twinkled in the night sky. Above Conejita’s burrow, a small star shone. Above Se?or Tejón’s home, another star sparkled. A little star twinkled above the owls’ tree. And a bright, new star shone right above the little girl’s house. The sky was now full of more light than before. Because Lobo shared, the whole world became brighter.
He walked back to his cave. His steps were slow and sleepy. Crunch, crunch. When he got inside, his mama was waiting. “You shared the light, didn’t you?” she said, smiling. Lobo nodded, a big yawn stretching his mouth. “It made more light, Mama,” he whispered. “The sky is full of it now.”
His mama tucked him into his bed of soft wool. “That is the secret of all good things, mi amor,” she said. (My love). “When you share them, they multiply.” She began to sing a soft, slow song. It was a song about stars and sleep.
Outside, the new stars twinkled in the quiet, holiday night. They were gentle night-lights for the whole forest. The little girl in the house fell asleep, watching her jar of light. Lobo listened to his mama’s song. He felt the warmth of his own fur. He thought of his friends, all cozy with their own bit of starlight in the sky. His eyes grew heavy. The world was quiet, and kind, and bright. Sharing the best bedtime stories in Spanish, like sharing a star, fills the night with a gentle, happy glow. And with that warm thought, Little Lobo drifted into a deep, peaceful sleep, dreaming of a sky forever full of shared light.
