There is a newborn little star.
Her name is Reida.
She is wearing a blue dress.
She lives in the Milky Way.
There are countless stars in the Milky Way.
Some are big, some are small.
Reida sees lots of stars around her.
Some wear the same color like she does.
And there're also lots of stars wearing different colors.
Reida is very curious about that.
One day, Reida approached a yellow star.
"Excuse me, yellow star. May I ask you something?"
"Sure, you may, little blue star."
"I was wondering why you are wearing yellow?" Reida asked.
The yellow star blinked her eyes and said:
"I used to wear blue too, just like you.
Then I grew older and began to wear yellow.
Now I am a middle aged star.
And the people on the planet earth call me 'the Sun'.
That name is really cool. I love it.
When you get to my age, you are going to wear yellow too."
Reida was excited when she heard about this.
She wished she could grow faster.
So she could have a new dress, a beautiful yellow dress.
A few days later, Reida saw a red star flying by.
She caught up and said:"Wait, red star. Can you stop for a minute?"
The red star stopped flying.
"Of course, litte blue star. How can I help you?" The red star said gently.
"Do you think I am going to have a red dress just like yous in the future?" Reida asked.
The red star thought about it for a while and said:
"Sure, I believe so. But you have to wait until you grow up.
When you grow older, you're going to have a yellow dress just like the Sun does.
When you grow much older, you're going to have a orange or even a red dress just like me."
"Oh, I know. Blue, yellow, orange, red. They are the colors on the rainbow.
That is fantastic. I just love it!" Reida jumped with joy.
The red star smiled and continued:
"When you grow much, much, much older, you will become white and then finally black."
Reida was very happy to know all the facts about the colors of a star.
She began to imagine what she would look like in all those beautiful colors.
"I love to be a star!" Reida said to herself, and flew away in her lovely pretty blue dress.
