Every night, Bear gazed at the stars. In his mind he drew lines between them, creating the most beautiful drawings. One night, something very strange happened. A star dropped from the sky! Just like that. Bear was certain. This star was meant for him! Bear ties the star around his neck and admires his reflection in the lake. But then he discovers that the star shines more brightly when seen by more animals. There's just one thing for it: the star must be returned to the sky, so that everyone can see it!
