To pass, answer my riddle: “I have leaves but I’m not a book. I have a trunk but no zipper. What am I?”
That’s Estrella, the wishing star. If we don’t return her to the sky before sunrise, she won’t be able to grant wishes anymore. Will you help us?
You’re too late! That star is mine!
We need your help. Look! (Points out the window.) A star just fell from the sky!
