Lost Star

"Don't worry I'll find them," the boy who wore a mask bravely said.

"You'll find them? Are you sure?" doubted the girl who wore a smile.

"Yes, I'm sure of it. I'll find your star. Even if it would take me many sleepless nights. I will find it," the boy said as he handed her a handkerchief. "So please, do stop crying."

The boy held his pinky finger to the girl. The girl did the same. With their fingers intertwined, they promised each other. The boy left eager to find that lost star. The girl couldn't sleep a wink thinking about her star.

Next day came and time flew by fast. It was already night when the girl eventually noticed her star. It came back to her. But the boy never did. He was still looking for the lost star that have already returned.
