Short Story for Kids written by: Erika Serrano (Mexico)
James came to visit his friend from the universe, Miranda. He had met her in the planetarium.
James didn´t go frequently. So, used to send stars to Miranda every time he was thinking of her.
But it was more than two months without seeing a star dedicated to her, and Miranda was very sad.
One day, watching the sky, Miranda saw a space ship landing on the ground, ran to see it, convinced that it was James; but she didn´t see her friend going out, so, hid quickly.
She saw a robot going out the space ship, with a brightness that barely let her see. Moved around the land for a few seconds, searching for something or someone. When the robot went back to the space ship, a paper note fell from him.
Then, the space ship took off, and there was only a tiny dot in the infinite.
Miranda came out of hiding, took the note with curiosity, and read it.
“Hi Miranda, It´s James: I have been sick, I caught “Saturn Shavings”. I can´t go out until I´m totally recovered. That is the reason why I can´t create stars to you. But I send you my Nanny, this likable robot, I want you to know that I am always thinking of you, and I miss you”.
Miranda was very happy, went back home and, from the window, sent many wishes for James recovering soon.
It did not take long until Miranda saw new beautiful stars for her. James had recovered.
And that is the end of the story…
