At one o'clock after midnight the star entered the cave and lit it up with her gleaming light, and the giant came out with the jinn-maidens dancing around him, dressed in black garments embroidered with red and golden threads that glittered in the light of the star. Their appearance was enchanting. The giant looked at the star wearing an angel's wings and laughed, and the cave trembled, and the little star was afraid.

After the giant sat down, the Daisy drew near him, saying: "This star wishes to stay on earth." The giant answered, looking at the star: "From now on you shall be a butterfly, and you shall live among the flowers, and remain merry and glad as you please." No sooner had he finished speaking than the star turned into a beautiful butterfly, flying from place to place. And so the star stayed with the flowers. But what did the stars do when they reached the sky and found the place of "the little star" empty? Hear the rest of the story.

The stars grew very troubled: God would learn that the little star had gone down to earth without leave, and He would punish all the stars.

I inform your honors that I was ill and went to a dispensary near us, and a medicine was prescribed for me; I took it, but it brought no benefit. Then a pupil came by and directed me to Aspro; I took it, then slept a deep sleep for a time, and when I awoke I was well. So I thank you with all thanks for the effect of this little tablet.
