About this listen

This is a heartwarming micro-story by beloved Japanese children’s author Nankichi Niimi.

Three stars quarreled high in the sky on a cold winter night as the wind howled around them. Though they were usually the best of friends, the middle star kept saying, “It’s cold, it’s cold,” which led the other two to start teasing him.

Down below, in a frozen rice field, a night heron cried out. Then, without a sound, the middle star quietly began to fall.

What happened next?

It is a gentle, imaginative tale perfect for bedtime reading.

Ideal for young children, this very short fairy tale invites wonder—and fits beautifully into any quiet moment.
