How to Make a Lucky Star

When I was in fourth grade, my friend taught me how to make a puffy star. Puffy stars are made out of paper folded and tied to make a 3D shape. The story behind them, is a little girl named Hoshi who really loved the stars in the night sky. One night when there was a shower of stars, she was afraid that to many stars fell, so she got a jar and made one paper star for every star that fell. The next night she found that there was not that many stars in the sky, so she called all the children in her villge and showed them how to make the stars and place them in the jar to make more stars apper. She called them lucky stars,"Whenever a lucky star is made, a falling star is saved."
