Oliver and the Talking Stars

Oliver was an eager youngster who lived in a quiet village wrapped by magnificent grasslands and rolling mountains. Every night, after the sun disappeared down and the world became covered in darkness, Oliver would hike to the top of a reduced hill behind his home. As the stars started to light up the night sky, he would sit on the soft greenery and gaze up at them.

The quiet, nights were perfect for astrophysics, and Oliver’s community was far from the noisy city. His grandmother lived with him in a little homemade and often told him stories about the heavens. The stars, she said, were old friends who had guarded humanity for decades and were always there to guide people with their lovely light.

One peaceful evening, Oliver was sitting on the hill when a strange thing happened. He thought he heard a soft voice as he looked up at the stars. At first, he thought it was the wind. Then the voice called again, more clearly this time.

“Hello, Oliver.” said the voice.

Oliver’s eyes expanded in surprise. He looked around and saw that the slope was empty. No one was there. The stars themselves felt to be speaking.

“Who is present?” Oliver whispered because he was almost afraid to speak too loudly.

The sensible reply was “We are the stars.” “We have been closely monitoring you. You have compassion and a wonder-filled heart. That’s what allows us to talk to you.

Oliver’s heart raced with excitement. He had learned from his grandma that the stars could talk! How splendid was that?

“What are you intending to tell me?” Oliver asked in a confused manner.

The stars displayed a little improvement as if they were pleased. We would like to talk about our stories with you, Oliver. We have seen a lot of changes over the years. And we have seen the globe grow and the dreams of many people come true. Each star has a story to tell, and we would be happy to tell you ours.

Oliver sat up straight and paid careful attention. Every tale told by the stars was more beautiful than the one before it.

In an old castle in another state, a brave knight saved a village from a terrible storm, according to one star. Another star told the story of a young woman who wandered through the woods, listened to the sounds of birds, and followed the path of the moonlight. A third star related the tale of a little boat that used just the stars above as a guide to cross a wide river.

Listening to the stories makes Oliver’s emotions go erratic as if he were a part of them. He could see the knight in his armor that shone, the young woman dancing beneath the moon, and that tiny boat across the river with the wind sighing in its wings.

The stars concluded their stories, the night was getting darker, and the moon was visible high in the sky. Oliver felt calm, as if he had emerged from the hill and embraced an alternate realm.

In a low, grateful voice, Oliver said, “Thank you for the stories.” “I will never forget them.”

The stars were shining brightly, their light comforting and warm. You may always rely on our assistance, Oliver. If you want to feel linked to us, just come to the hill and look up. We’ll be waiting here.

A relaxation washed over Oliver, and he beamed. Even though he was alone on the hill, he knew that he was never truly alone. The stars would always be by his side, observing over him and sharing their stories and society.

As the night grew calmer, Oliver awoke, excited to get back to his comfortable home. He looked at the stars one more time before beginning to down the slope.

He whispered, “Stars, good night,” “I appreciate everything you’ve done.”

In reaction, the stars lulled slightly in brightness as they glowed. Oliver returned home with a heart full of wonder and peace, knowing that the stars would always be his friends. He grinned as he climbed into bed that night and fell asleep, dreaming about the talking stars.

Oliver has been aware of the stars’ presence ever since that night, reminding him that there is always kindness, hope, and the potential for dreams, as well as waiting to tell him more stories.
