The North Star was shining happily. He liked to shine; everyday he would shine away smiling happily. One day just as he was getting ready to shine through the night he saw something going by. It had a long, bright tail, and it had very dirty face. “What a strange thing,” thought the North Star. He asked the stars around him what it was. One of the stars suddenly remembered, “That’s a comet!”
The north star really liked the comet, he loved the way it zoomed through the sky as if it was in a very big hurry! He himself never moved much, everyday he shone in the sky, almost in the same place. Suddenly something strange happened! The comet stopped! “Hey,” yelled the North Star, "Why did you stop?
The comet turned around, usually he never had time for talking to the other stars. He looked at the North Star and saw that him standing still. “Lucky you!” he exclaimed. The North Star was most surprised, “Lucky me, wow I just have been standing here for millions of years, how can I be lucky? “Well at least you don’t zip around universe without a moments rest!” sighed the comet. “Oh! I’m so tired! The North Star felt sorry for the comet and really he did look rather dirty and weary! “Come wait a while with me” and the so the comet rested a while.
Suddenly a big huge storm came rushing near them. “Why have you stopped comet? You are supposed to be going on…” It was the great big storm which had come running down. He had come in such a rush that he was panting! “If you don’t rush on, everything in the sky will be different” he told the comet very sternly.
The North Star asked surprised, “What’s wrong if the comet waits awhile? The Great storm growled, “Look you are supposed to be standing here, and he is supposed to be going, we all have something to do! Now get along comet!
The comet was already beginning to feel cold standing, “I think you are right, I’m getting cold waiting here, I should go on.” So the Comet got ready to start off , “Will see you in some years, North Star, I’ve just got to rush off!
Once again the comet zipped off, and the North Star saw his light shining across the sky, “Bye comet, it was nice to see you!”

wow.. thats life.
i guess it wasnt meant to be existentialist but it is.
It looks like destiny-type:one is destined to be so and so and not otherwise.Fatalistic?It also amounts to calling a spade a spade.Yes the comet is to travel and the star is to be standstill.I find cogency in the whole narration.though the subject is the statusquoistic,the story liner is live
