Hello,

My name is Jacqueline and I am going to read you a story I wrote for my grandchildren.

I hope you enjoy it.

Now settle down and I will begin.

Kelty and the Star Kelty lay in bed unable to get to sleep.

Her mummy had tucked her into bed almost an hour ago and usually Kelty fell straight to sleep.

But tonight that had not happened.

Kelty had something on her mind and thinking about it was keeping her awake.

Tomorrow she had a big test at school and this had been troubling her all day.

Kelty was a very good student and really enjoyed going to school.

But she always worried when they had to do tests no matter what the subject.

This was the reason why she could not get to sleep tonight.

This evening as usual Kelty's mummy had read her a bedtime story and then snuggled the duvet up under Kelty's chin and kissed her daughter goodnight.

Sweet dreams my darling,

See you in the morning,

She whispered as she blew her a kiss from the bedroom doorway.

Good night mummy Kelty replied as she closed her eyes and settled into her cosy soft warm bed.

Her mummy turned off the light and closed the bedroom door.

Kelty yawned and felt very sleepy.

But just as she was dozing off she remembered she had a test the very next day and she no longer felt tired.

Kelty opened her eyes as she felt a little panicky.

Everybody in her class had the same test to do.

It was a little bit of every subject to see how well they were doing in their studies.

Her best friend Anne did not worry about tests,

In fact she never seemed to worry about anything.

Anne was always happy and upbeat and Kelty knew she would look after her tomorrow at school.

But even though she knew this she still felt a little worried.

Kelty looked around her bedroom which was almost dark except for a bit of light coming in through a gap in the drawn curtains.

Her mummy never completely closed the curtains because Kelty enjoyed being woken by the sunrise in the mornings.

As Kelty gazed at the light it appeared to be getting brighter.

She sat up in bed so she could get a better look at it and yes it was getting brighter and brighter.

Kelty thought she must have sleepy dust in her eyes so she closed them tight and gently rubbed them with both hands.

When she opened her eyes she was surprised to see a bright golden star had appeared at her window.

The star was as big as a dinner plate with a cute little face which was looking straight at her and smiling the sweetest smile.

Kelty smiled back.

She did not feel scared at all.

She just felt a warm glow surround her.

The star moved away from the gap in the curtain.

Kelty got out of bed and went over to the window and pulled the curtains back.

The star had floated near to where the window could be opened.

Kelty opened the window and the star flew in.

It landed on top of Kelty's wardrobe and turned to look at her.

Then it winked at her and took off around the bedroom making Kelty laugh as it flew over her shoulder then under her bed and out the other side.

Finally the star settled at the bottom of Kelty's bed.

Kelty climbed into bed and said hello to the star.

The star didn't speak out loud but Kelty could hear the star talking in her head.

Hello Kelty,

The voice in her head said.

Why are you still awake?

It is very late.

Because I am worrying about a test I have in school tomorrow,

Kelty replied sadly.

Oh I see,

Exclaimed the star.

Is worrying about it making you feel good?

No,

It makes me feel anxious and scared Kelty said looking down at her hands.

So why are you thinking about it then?

Asked the star gently.

Because I don't know how not to.

The test seems to be the only thing on my mind at the moment.

The star flew closer to Kelty.

Well only you are in control of your thoughts,

No one else.

Why don't you try putting your attention onto something else that makes you feel good inside?

Kelty thought for a moment and then replied.

That's not easy,

I just can't think of anything else that makes me feel happy at the moment.

The star hovered above Kelty's bed.

How did you feel when I flew around your room just now?

Kelty smiled and said that made me happy and for a moment I actually think I forgot about the test.

The star flew around the room again doing loops and twists as it went.

Kelty laughed and clapped her hands with glee.

Returning to Kelty's bed the star said when you take your attention away from any thoughts that don't make you feel good and find something to focus on that makes you feel happy you will feel so much better.

Kelty thought about this as the star continued.

No matter how you are feeling,

Whether it's happy or sad,

Your test tomorrow is still going to happen.

So which feeling do you enjoy the most?

Feeling happy declared Kelty as she threw her hands into the air and smiled the biggest grin.

The star seemed pleased with this reply and flew around the room so fast that it looked to Kelty as if it spelt the word yes in the air.

Landing back onto the bottom of Kelty's bed the star said now you know how to feel happy anytime you choose and he'd done a little spiral spin up into the air which Kelty adored but the time is ticking by and it will soon be morning the star said as it hovered by the side of Kelty's bed you must go straight to sleep now otherwise you will be too tired to do your best in the test tomorrow.

The star flew over to the window but just before it flew away it said to Kelty the next time you have trouble going to sleep just remember my visit and our conversation.

I will Kelty said as she jumped out of bed and went over to the window thank you for coming to see me tonight and for helping me to understand my thoughts good night Kelty good luck tomorrow with your test the star said as it flew up into the sky.

Kelty closed the window poured the curtains almost together and got back into bed she lay down and pulled her duvet up under her chin and gazed at the gap between the curtains she watched the star getting smaller and smaller as it flew amongst the other stars feeling much more relaxed than she had before Kelty closed her eyes and with a smile on her face she fell straight to sleep.
