Anthony the Great Puff Eater was a magician. He lived in the Galaxy, where stars blinked like tiny lamps.
Anthony was kind and a little silly. He loved snack puffs. Crunch, munch, puff!
One day, he met Egg. Egg was small and brave. Egg could roll very fast.
“Hi, Anthony,” said Egg.
“Hi, Egg,” said Anthony. “Want to help me?”
In the Galaxy, a bright star was missing. The sky had a little dark spot.
Egg gasped. “Oh no. Where did it go?”
Anthony tapped his hat. “We will find the missing star.”
They floated past a purple planet. They floated past a cold moon.
Then they saw Toy.
Toy was shiny and loud. Toy bounced and bonked into things.
Toy sang, “I took the star! I like it. It is mine!”
Egg hid behind Anthony. “I’m scared.”
Anthony bent down. “It’s okay. Hold my hand.”
Anthony spoke softly to Toy. “Toy, the Galaxy needs that star. The night feels too dark.”
Toy hugged the star tight. “But it is so pretty.”
Anthony had an idea. He was an inventive magician.
He pulled out a puff snack. “Toy, do you like puffs?”
Toy sniffed. “Maybe.”
Anthony made a tiny magic show.
“Puff-a-puff, floaty fluff!” he said.
The puff snack became a puff cloud. It was soft. It smelled like cheese.
Toy laughed. “That is funny!”
Egg peeked out. “Ha!”
Toy let the star go for a moment.
Whoosh! The star drifted away.
“Oh!” said Toy. “Come back!”
The star rolled into a ring of space rocks.
Egg rolled fast. “I can do it!”
Egg zipped in and out. “Zip! Zip!”
Egg nudged the star free.
Anthony clapped. “Good job, Egg!”
Egg beamed. “I did it!”
Toy looked sad. “I wanted a pretty light.”
Anthony nodded. “You can have a light too. But not the Galaxy’s star.”
He waved his wand.
“Puff, puff, make a new stuff!”
A new little lamp popped out. It was star-shaped. It blinked warm yellow.
Toy’s eyes grew wide. “For me?”
“For you,” said Anthony.
Toy smiled. “Okay. I will give the real star back.”
Toy pushed the big star gently.
The star rose up, higher and higher.
Pop! It clicked into its place.
The dark spot was gone.
The Galaxy looked bright again.
Egg sighed. “Better.”
Toy said, “Sorry.”
Egg said, “It’s okay. Be gentle.”
Toy nodded. “Gentle.”
Anthony the Great Puff Eater did a happy spin.
Then, for a prize, he made a big box appear.
Inside were rainbow puffs for everyone.
Crunch, munch, puff!
Egg giggled with a tiny puff on top like a hat.
Toy blinked its new lamp and danced.
Anthony smiled. “We found the missing star. And we made a new light too.”
In the Galaxy, they floated home, full of puffs and warm glow.
