In far - away Sweden, there is a beautiful legend. The stars in the night sky are like a group of elves guarding the world, shining with mysterious and charming light. Among these stars, there is a tiny star. It is extremely kind - hearted and always quietly pays attention to everything on the earth.
One night, this little star saw a little girl on the earth. She was very poor and lived in a dilapidated cottage, having a hard time every day. The little girl's eyes were always full of longing and helplessness. She longed for a wonderful life but was helpless about her situation. After seeing the little girl's misfortune, the little star was full of sympathy and couldn't help shedding a crystal - clear tear.
This tear, glittering with light, slowly fell from the night sky. It passed through layers of clouds, like a meteor, falling towards the earth. During the fall, this tear was blown by the wind, just like a little elf dancing gracefully in the air.
Finally, this star's tear landed on the ground beside the dilapidated cottage where the little girl lived. Magical things happened. The place where the tear landed instantly emitted a dazzling light. After the light faded, a beautiful gem appeared. This gem radiated colorful light, illuminating the little girl's home.
Attracted by this light, the little girl walked out of the house. When she saw that beautiful gem, her eyes were full of surprise. She picked up the gem carefully and felt the warmth from it. The little girl knew that this was a magical treasure, a gift from heaven.
With the gem in her hand, the little girl's life began to change. She exchanged the gem for enough money, built a beautiful house, and bought a lot of food and clothes. She no longer had to live that poor and hard life.
But the little girl never forgot where the gem came from. She knew that it was transformed from the star's tear. Every night, she would pray to the night sky, thanking that kind little star. And seeing the little girl's happy life from the night sky, the little star also felt very gratified.
Since then, this story about the star's tear turning into a gem has spread across the land of Sweden, becoming a warm and hopeful legend among people.
