Help from a star

Jane and Sarah were lost. They felt a little scared and yet silly, too. You see, they were in their own town. But they couldn't figure out how to get from where they were to where home was.

The silly feeling started to get swallowed up in the scared feeling, and Jane and Sarah stopped walking and stood still. Then they saw it—the yellow star in the window of the house across the street. Boy, were they grateful. A Star Lady lived in that house!

In the town where Jane and Sarah lived, volunteers put a sign with a big yellow star on it in a front window. This showed that anyone could come to the house if he or she needed help. Kids called the volunteers Star Ladies.
