Tiny Story: Natural Cliques

The Starfish sat on the sand, crying.


"I look up at the stars in the sky, but I cannot fly.  I look at the fish in the sea, but they are not shaped like me.


Where do I fit in?"


 


The ocean sighed deeply, replying,


“If sky-stars tried to swim,


Their lights would grow dim


And they would twinkle no more.


But on swimming starfish


Is where sky-stars will wish,


That they could be stars on the shore”
