This is from the universe in which my earlier story *The Best Star in the Universe* is based.
One day, Kiwi, the only flying kiwi, noticed the Sun, crying ultraviolet tears.
“What’s wrong, Sun?”
“It’s nothing.”
“Please tell me, I would do anything to help.”
“It’s just that earlier today, the other stars teased me for my size.”
“You don’t need to be big to be important.”
“How so?”
“Well you are giving life to almost every living thing on Earth. We’re very grateful for you, you know? You cause the tides, the winds and the reason to steal ice cream from kids during the summers.” said Kiwi, laughing.
“Yeah, you’re right.” Said the Sun, with a strong resolve to win the best star in the universe competition.
