In a quiet small town in Japan, there is a magical mailbox named Starlight Mailbox. This mailbox is quite different from ordinary ones. During the day, it looks plain, but at night, when the starlight shines on it, it will emit a soft glow, as if it has been enchanted.
There is a lovely little girl in the town named Keiko. She has many wonderful wishes. One day, at school, Keiko heard her friends talking about their dreams. Some wanted to become painters, while others wanted to be scientists. Keiko also wanted to share her wish, but she didn't know how.
In the evening, on her way home, Keiko saw the Starlight Mailbox. The mailbox was twinkling with a mysterious light under the starlight, as if calling to her. Keiko remembered her wish and thought that perhaps she could send it out. So, she took out a piece of writing paper and neatly wrote down her wish: She hoped that everyone in the town could be healthy and happy, and that she could have more friends. After writing it, she carefully put the writing paper into the Starlight Mailbox.
At the moment when the writing paper slid into the mailbox, the mailbox made a soft buzzing sound, as if responding to Keiko's wish. Keiko's eyes widened in surprise, and then she smiled happily.
Since then, some wonderful changes have begun to occur in the town. The neighbors have become more friendly. The uncles who used to quarrel often now greet each other and share the vegetables they grow. Keiko also found that at school, her classmates were more willing to play with her, and she made several new friends.
Keiko thought that it must be the credit of the Starlight Mailbox. It had spread her wish, making the whole town full of love and warmth.
Keiko told the secret of the Starlight Mailbox to her friends, and her friends were very curious. So, they all came to the Starlight Mailbox together at night. They also wrote down their wishes one after another. Some hoped that their families could be happy, and some hoped that small animals could all have safe habitats. When they put their wishes into the mailbox, the mailbox made that soft buzzing sound again, and the light also became brighter.
As time passed, the town became more and more beautiful. People all knew about this magical Starlight Mailbox, but everyone took good care of it. No one damaged it or disturbed its "work".
Every night, the Starlight Mailbox will be there, quietly receiving people's wishes, and then spreading these wishes full of love and hope to every corner of the town. Keiko and her friends are also growing up happily in this town full of magic and warmth.
