The Star Llama
As the sun began to rise, the boy gathered the llama wool. It glowed in his hands like starlight. He carried the wool to the city and sold it. With the money, he bought a house and frisky young llamas. He never forgot the star llama. And he was never lonely again.
gathered: collected
The Star Llama
The star llama drank for a long time. Then she looked at the sad Inca boy and smiled. When she jumped back into the sky, bits of llama wool fell. The boy felt the silver wool. It was soft and warm.
Suddenly, the sky filled with bright light. The boy, held his breath. He was afraid to move. One star began to shimmer. Then it floated to the ground beside the stream. Slowly, the star took the shape of the old llama. The llama bent her head and drank from the stream.

The boy buried his friend next to an icy stream. Then he sat under a tree and cried. What would he do, he thought. He had no family and no home.
The boy cried for a long time. But there was no one to comfort him. There were only the stars in the sky.
Stream: flow of water that moves across the land and is narrower than a river
Once there was a young Inca boy. He had no family except for an old llama. Each day, the boy and his companion walked many miles, looking for a home. Each night, they curled up together and slept. But one starry evening, the old llama died.
