Excerpt
“What’s this all about?” Chirp asked inquisitively.
“Something big is going to happen,” whispered Scurry. “Yup indeedy, something big, something big.”
“Tell us,” stated Leah eagerly.
“We went out on our scouting patrol,” began Scamp, “and made the usual rounds.”
“Yes, yes,” agreed Scurry eagerly. “Much scouting, much scouting. Found secrets, found secrets.”
“It’s not a secret,” stated Scamp sharply.
“Calm down Scurry,” laughed Chirp. Turning back to Scamp he continued.
“And what did you find?” Chirp asked.
“It’s just a story or something we heard the people talking about,” replied Scamp. “That’s all.”
“What we’re they saying?” inquired Leah.
“They were talking about a lot of things,” replied Scamp. “There’s a lot of new people in town, lots of hustle and bustle.”
“Hustle and bustle,” echoed Scurry. “Hustle and bustle.”
“Yes, but what was the big news?” asked Chirp impatiently.
“The people were talking about a light in the sky, a new star,” answered Scamp.
“A new star?” asked Eiten. “You mean an actual star, like up in the sky?”
“So it would seem,” replied Scamp. “But I didn’t see it.”
“Yes, yes, new star, new star!” echoed Scurry.
“A new star?” asked Leah. “How? When?”
“A new Star? I didn’t know you could have new ones!” exclaimed Ephraim thoughtfully. “Cool.”
“But that doesn’t make sense,” answered Chirp. “Why a new star?”
“Beats me,” replied Scamp. “That’s just what they’re saying.”
Suddenly a voice from high in the back rafters of the manger flooded the group in a whisper.
“It’s true,” said the voice.
The entire group turned and focused their attention on the back of the manger, eagerly waiting for the speaker to appear.
“What’s that?” asked Scamp curiously as he turned to look up.
Before anyone could answer a great white moth appeared from above, gliding towards the group, drifting down slowly until she landed on the edge of Hezekiah’s pen. It was Bernice. The small group stared in disbelief at her magnificence.
“But how could a..?” began Eiten before Bernice quickly cut him off.
“It’s true,” she reiterated. “There is a bright new star in the sky, very nearly over our heads, and it has been the talk of the town. In fact, everyone seems to be wondering about it, even the new people in town.”
“Yes, yes,” agreed Scurry, “much talk, much talk.”
“But what does that mean?” asked Leah.
“Mean?” asked Ephraim enthusiastically. “It means, my dear sister, that we have something to celebrate. It means we should have a party.”
“It means,” interrupted Bernice, “that something very special is about to happen. It’s a sign.”
“Yes, yes, special, special,” agreed Scurry as he cast a glance at Scamp. “Told you, told you.”
“You mean like a miracle?” asked Chirp.
“Yes, my dear,” whispered Bernice reverently, “that’s exactly what I mean, a miracle.”
“What kind of miracle?” asked Eiten?
“Well, I’m not sure,” replied Bernice. “But there is one thing I do know, miracles do happen.”
