Lemon and Star

Bright Star in the sky
Was shining in the darkness of night.
She was fantastically beautiful,
And looked at the Earth from above.

And once upon a time on Earth
Little Lemon appeared.
He was juicy and appetizing,
And Star noticed him immediately.

"Dear Lemon, how delicious you are,
Your scent is familiar to me.
You lie in beautiful pieces,
I want to be closer to you!"

Star approached Lemon,
And her light shone even stronger.
But Lemon was experienced,
He quickly jumped aside.

"Star, you're hungry and greedy,
But I'm not yours at all,
I am Lemon, I go my own way.
You shine beautifully in the sky,
But I'll go on by myself."

Star was very sad,
But she could not break the law of nature.
Lemon disappeared into the night,
And Star left alone in the sky.

And since then always at night
Star looks down on Earth from above.
Lemon walks around the world and has fun,
But he remember light in night sky.

But what is the meaning of this fable,
Some of my readers will exclaim,
And not for the first time.
Be patient, friends, be patient.
Sometimes things just happen,
Without deep meaning, you know.
