THE WHALE WHO SANG TO THE STARS

Far across the endless ocean lived a great blue whale named Luma. She was the largest creature in the sea, but what made her special wasn’t her size—it was her voice. Luma sang songs so beautiful and deep that even the stars seemed to listen. Every night, Luma swam near the surface and sang to the sky. Her songs were full of wonder, dreams, and the secrets of the deep. Ships would stop to listen, dolphins danced in her wake, and sea turtles floated peacefully nearby. But one day, the ocean changed. A strange silence spread across the water. The other whales stopped singing. Luma dove deep and discovered why—a young humpback whale had gotten tangled in a fishing net at the ocean floor, and the others were too afraid to help. Luma didn’t hesitate. With a mighty flip of her tail, she dove into the dark, cold depths. She wrapped herself gently around the net and sang a slow, calming song. The vibrations helped loosen the ropes, and soon the young whale was free. As they rose back to the surface, the stars twinkled brighter than ever. That night, Luma sang louder and clearer than she ever had before—and now, the entire ocean sang with her. From then on, it was said the stars shimmered whenever Luma sang, and every creature in the sea knew: even in silence, one voice of kindness could bring the whole ocean back to life.
