"Traditions" from the Junkyard Tales collection

This week's free story comes from the Junkyard Tales collection. It's called "Traditions."   One morning Ben Thompson, clever cat, wakes to the sound of small scuffling feet. What could it be? Turns out it's three small mice, hunting for hidden glass stars. Glass stars? Ben later discovers that hiding colorful glass stars for the mice to find is one of the many holiday traditions in the Junkyard. There's also storytelling and gift-giving among others! It all sounds great to Ben; he wants to hide stars and tell stories and make gifts! But how can he possibly do it all? Sergeant, the steadfast watchdog, helps Ben realize what is truly important about holiday traditions.   The story you’re about to hear is 1 of over 1,400 original stories at Sparkle Stories. You can explore them all now for free.
