Under the jingle-current, Yonda tucked a strand of little star lights beneath her chin and swam through Snowglobe Reef. She wanted the sleepy nursery cave to wake up smiling before anyone knew who had done it. Swish-swish went her tail through cold bubbles that smelled like salt and minty kelp. She hung round baubles on coral knobs and left striped shells beside the sand beds. “Shhh, lights,” she whispered, and the lights blinked anyway.
Then a snow crab popped from a pearl bubble wearing one tiny mitten on each claw. He was not guarding the cave at all—he was delivering snowflakes, one by one, because the reef had ordered extra sparkle. Yonda gave him her brightest star for his cart. Together they made the water twinkle without a single trumpet or thank-you. When the baby fish woke, they only saw magic. Next time you spot Yonda’s grin, can you guess which star she gave away under the jingle-current?
