Inside was a hidden pocket of star seeds, tucked where nobody thought to look. “For them,” Kiko whispered, though no one was watching. He flung the seeds wide, and the baby stars burst bright enough to tickle his rocky cheeks. Next time you see Kiko’s streak near the rings, can you spot the secret place that saved the little stars?
