Just before bedtime, Julian was brushing his teeth when his older brother came into the bathroom :
   - You know, you have been acting really weird tonight ... Is there anything you would like to tell me ...?
   Through a mouthful of toothpaste, Julian managed to smile as broadly as he could!
   - If ... If I tell you ... do you chwear you will keep my checret?
   Julian opened his sock drawer, showed his brother the little star, then told him the whole story.
   - I can't believe you did this! his brother exclaimed.
