At the edge of the starry orbit, Ludo warmed his little engine with a purr-purr-pop. He had set himself a challenge: make one neat loop around Earth before his comet crackers got cold. The black sky smelled faintly of smoke and sugar dust as he zipped, dipped, and tried not to giggle.
Earth hummed below, round and cozy, while Ludo dragged a bright ribbon of rocket puff behind him. “No wobbles!” he squeaked, making the loop wider, then wider still. Tiny stars blinked like they knew a joke.
Then Earth gave a sleepy wiggle. The ribbon did not float away—it settled around the planet like a giant hula hoop. Ludo beeped with pride. He had made something with his own fiery little hands, and next time you see those loops, listen for a purr-purr-pop.
