The Starry Barn
It was a dark night on the farm. Artie walked out to the yard to look at the sky. A bright star was shining over the barn.
"Look at that!" Artie said. He grabbed his jar and ran past the cart. It was not hard to see because the moon was so bright.
He heard a bark near the park. It was his dog, Barnaby. "Come here, boy!" Artie called. They sat in the grass for a long part of the night. It was the best part of his day.
