The next morning, Luna swims deeper. She hears faint twinkling sounds. In the dark water, she spots tiny lights. They are stars that have fallen into the sea. Luna collects them with her long fin. She gently lifts each star into her water‑bubble pouch.

At dusk, Luna sings a hopeful song. Her song bubbles up to the surface. The bubbles float and catch the falling stars. The stars glow brighter. As they swirl, Luna sees a sky inside the sea.

Her friends hear her song. A dolphin, a crab, and a school of fish come close. They watch Luna collect stars. They all cheer and dance. Together, they make the sea shimmer more than ever.

When the stars are full, Luna places them inside a big glass shell. The shell shines like a starry night. The sea glows with a new light. Luna smiles, feeling proud. All her friends share the joy, and they all sleep peacefully under the glittering stars.
