The Boy Who Caught the Wishing Star

Once upon a time, there was a boy. This boy, out of all the boys in town, had trouble reading. So, he asked the sky for help. He asked her, "Oh dear sky, whatever shall I do? I can't read." Then, with a miraculous beam of light, the sky sent him a shooting star to wish on. He ran to catch it, instead falling into the pond on the outskirts of the main road, with the shooting star. The water turned a luxurious gold, sparks and flames riding the light waves on top of the pond. The boy wondered if his life would end. But then the star, in the form of a beautiful maiden, told him; "You can read, but you have to believe in yourself, Aiden." And to this day, the sky still releases some of its stars to grant wishes.
