The Snack Mix-Up at Starburst Station
This is a short story about sharing food and how fairness helps everyone enjoy moments together.
Starburst Station floated high above the clouds glowing with soft lights and friendly voices.
Noah sat at a table solving a small puzzle while Luke bounced excitedly beside him.
Pip the Parrot swooped overhead cracking jokes about crunchy snacks and silly surprises.
Fifi the Fox rushed in carrying a basket of starfruit slices just as two kids grabbed the bowl at the same time arguing over who saw it first.
Luke reminded them gently that fighting wouldn’t help and Noah encouraged everyone to breathe and slow down.
Pip perched on the basket rim teasing that crunching was for snacks, not arguments.
Fifi checked the basket and realized there were only ten slices — not enough for everyone — making the kids look embarrassed.
Noah suggested cutting each slice in half to make twenty pieces so everyone could share fairly.
Luke cheered the idea while Fifi used a tiny station-safe slicer to divide the fruit evenly.
Soon everyone sat together sharing starfruit pieces and laughing at Pip’s silly jokes about “proper crunch math.”
One of the kids who argued earlier thanked them quietly for helping everyone share instead of fight.
