Under the quiet palm roof, Cale rolled his round glass body closer to the manger, trying to catch a little moonlight for the sleeping baby. The stable smelled of sweet hay and warm wool, but every corner stayed dim. Mary hummed low, Joseph held the lantern up high, and Cale whispered, “I need one more glow.”
A tiny sneeze came from the smallest sheep. Piff! Something golden tumbled from its curly fleece and landed in the straw—a star-seed, warm as toast. Cale lifted it with his silver cap, and joy filled him so full he could not keep it inside. The star-seed burst into a bright star above the manger, spilling shine onto every face. Ever since then, nativity ornaments carry a star over the stable, because Cale’s first glow was too big not to share; can you spot where it still shines?
