The Little Nebula

High above the world, in the soft dark of space, floats a little nebula named Nebby, a fluffy cloud of pastel pink, lavender and pale blue dust. Nebby dreams of making beautiful patterns of stars, but whenever Nebby tries to shape the dust, it drifts apart, leaving Nebby sad and impatient. In this tale by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN, Nebby meets Orla, an old and wise star who gently teaches that patterns take time and that every cloud of cosmic dust grows in its own way.

When Twink, a cheerful little star with a blue comet tail, zips by, Nebby learns to play and to be patient. Together they float through space, and Nebby discovers that even tiny swirls in the dust are signs of growth. Watching other nebulas, Nebby realizes that each one is special and grows differently, and slowly stops forcing the dust. This heartwarming story about patience and growing at one's own pace can be read on Online Masal.
