Twinkling: The Story of a Hedgehog Who Cared for Fallen Stars 🌟
Best enjoyed on a mobile phone.
Once upon a time, when the stars were closer to the earth, there lived a tiny hedgehog deep in the forest. His name was Harry. He was timid and had a very sensitive heart, but he was kind and gentle, and oh, let’s not forget—his spines too. Then, he had also got an unusual gift—He could find fallen stars that had lost their way on the earth.
Every night, when the sun slipped below the horizon and the night filled with starlight, Harry wandered through the woods, gently gathering the lost little stars. He took them home and placed them lovingly into small glass jars, nurturing them with care.
His cosy room, decorated with the softly glowing jars, became a sanctuary where he brewed warm tea and share peaceful moments with his luminous companions. These quiet days felt like coming home after a long, exhausting journey—a time to simply be.
Over time, the stars inside the jars grew brighter night after night, filling the room with a radiant, gentle light. Harry called this light "Star’s Serenity," he kept it close to his heart.
“If I tell anyone,
they’ll just think I’m strange, as always” he thought.
People’s words were always the same. Harry was used to keeping secrets. He didn’t mind anymore—not even when someone teased him, calling “Spiky” and discriminated and judged him for his prickly appearance on TV and in the streets, Harry’s heart was resilient enough to bounce back within a fortnight.
One day, Harry met a squirrel in the forest. The squirrel was crying.
“I can’t do it anymore,” the squirrel sobbed.
“Life’s been so busy,
I’ve forgotten what makes me happy.”
Hearing this, Harry thought of "Star’s Serenity." He invited the squirrel to his home, offering a warm cuppa and the comforting glow of his jars. As the squirrel gazed into the light, their heart felt lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
“Thank you, Harry,” the squirrel said.
“I haven’t felt this way in years.”
Soon, other animals began visiting Harry’s home. Whether they were weary, lost, or burdened by worries, they came to bask in the light of "Star’s Serenity." In that small, glowing room, they found a moment of peace and healing.
Watching the joy and calm his visitors experienced, Harry thought,
"What if I could share Star’s Serenity
with even more people?"
And so, Harry opened a café. He named it "Harry’s Home." The light of the star children shimmered softly, bringing warmth and comfort to the hearts of those who visited. The soothing aroma of tea lingered in the air, and the café became a haven for anyone seeking solace.
Even today, those who step into "Harry’s Home" find themselves wrapped in the gentle glow of the stars. They rediscover their true selves they had long forgotten—the innocence, joy, and peace of their childhood.
Some leave the café with quiet smiles, saying,
“I’d forgotten this feeling as an adult,
but now I remember what truly matters.”
Harry's Home, this is the sanctuary,
a place where hearts find comfort and light.
And as the star children,
having grown and regained their strength,
return to the night sky,
they shine brightly once more.
They sparkle for the little prickly creature,
ensuring he can always find them.
Harry waves and smiles too,
calling out,
“Hey Twinkle guys!”
Because he knows
that no matter where he goes,
no matter how alone he may seem,
their hearts will always be connected.
