High above the cloud hills, Tavi tapped a dry branch with his claws: click, click, hush. He had invented a game called Star Steps. The rule was simple—hop from perch to perch without making the clouds wrinkle.
Two small stars drifted low, blinking like sleepy fireflies. “We can’t find our way back,” one whispered. Tavi wanted to finish his perfect quiet round, but the stars shivered in the cold blue air. So he spread both wings wide and stood still on his favorite branch until the stars climbed his shadow like a ladder. Nobody clapped. The clouds only smelled of rain.
Ever since, eagles stand tall at dusk, wings open, guarding the path for stars. Next time you see Tavi’s wide wings, can you find the two he helped home?
