“She looked and looked. And pretty soon she saw a little tiny star, no bigger than a toothpaste top, come out right above the back yard. She saw it come out and begin to twinkle, all by itself. Why! It wasn't evening yet. There weren't any other stars around. There was nothing around except plain, ordinary sky. But the little star kept twinkling. And—somehow—the sky didn't seem so plain and ordinary any more. Why! Even a little star no bigger than a toothpaste top made quite a difference—a little star, twinkling all by itself, made a difference in the whole sky!”
