STARZAN
by Annika Sher
(age 9)



Starzan was a constellation. He sparkled brighter than any other  constellation except one, Ursa Major. His stars were comets. O, Starzan was so JEALOUS! 

One day while all of the constellations were sleeping, including Ursa Major, Starzan took one of Ursa Major's stars and replaced it with one of his. Now Starzan had 1 comet and Ursa Major had 1 star. 

The next day he did the same thing. And the next, and the next, and the next. Until Starzan had all comets and Ursa Major had all  stars. 

This interested Ursa Minor.( He was Ursa Major's best friend.) He took a look at Starzan (ST) He  was known for having 1 black hole. Now Ursa Major had a black hole!  

Ursa Major (UMA) And Minor (UMI) made a plan. UMA was going to borrow 2 of UMI's stars and say that the black hole gave him the stars. So they did the plan and ST said he was sorry, so him and UMA traded stars and comets and were happy!

Good job Annika. I am very impressed that a 9 year old knows about stars, constellations, black holes, jealousy and saying sorry. Marcia A. Lahti

I love the name Starzan. =]
Jealousy sure makes us do things we shouldn't do. I'm so glad they got things straightened out and were happy in the end.

Good job, Annika! =]

Finding the Big Dipper in Ursa Major and looking at the stars and planets some of my favorite things to do. I enjoyed your creative story. I would describe it as "stellar." Super work, Annika!
