39 Under Starry Skies
All too soon, the sun went down and the stars started to come out.
Just like Scorch said, bright lights lit up the city at night.
At this rate, the Sobble and their friends wouldn't get to eat anything at all, let alone curry.
They met back up with the others and talked about what to do next.
Some of them remembered seeing berries growing in the forest down the road.
They decided to backtrack a little and spend the night there.
"I'm sorry... This is all my fault. I put you all in danger.
I don't deserve to eat anything.
I just... I just wanted to give Snowy the yummiest food in the world...before she died..."
All of Raggedy's feelings came bursting out at once.
His brothers and sisters gathered around to comfort him.
Sobble know a lot about crying. They could tell these weren't regular tears of fear or surprise.
Maybe your dream won't come true, but you still did everything you could for the sake of your friend.
You did your best.
Then Snowy spoke up. "You know... I always think it's so pretty when the stars are shining in the sky.
I look up at them and I think, I wish I could see them up close.
But the city is even brighter, even shinier, even more pretty.
Thank you for bringing me to see it, Raggedy!"
