As Cautious Star was speaking, more and more Star children arrived on Earth, and they were joined by many more Earth children. “We want to be like the Stars!” said one Earth child. “Yes, we want to be like the Stars,” they cried. Suddenly something very bright appeared in the sky. It was the Brightest Star, together with Happy Star and Laughing Star. They beamed their light at the children. Laughing Star began to chuckle and the children couldn’t help but laugh too.

They began to play and sing. They danced and ate and laughed and sang until dark and it was time to go home. “This was the best party ever!” cried the children. And everyone agreed.

The Earth children hugged the Peace Stars good bye. “Remember that we are always here for you,” said the Peace Stars, “even in the daytime when you can’t see us. Picture us in your mind, and you will feel our beams of love and peace.” The Star children beamed brightly at the Earth children, and then flew back to the great Sun Star.

As the Peace Stars flew higher and higher, they sent their bright beams and loving thoughts down to the children below. As well as sending peace, each of the Peace Stars sent his or her own special quality. Patient Star sent patience. Laughing Star sent a big happy laugh. Quiet Star sent soft, quiet beams. Loving Star sent an unending flow of loving thoughts. The children on Earth watched peacefully and happily as their new Star friends flew away. “See you again soon!” they called out, and waved goodbye.
