A sad and lonely child once sat watching the stars. When she began to cry, a star fell from the sky and asked her why she was so sad. She told the star it was because she was always alone and none of her dreams ever came true. So, the star gave her a strip of paper and showed her how to make a Paper Star.
“Whenever you are sad or lonely,” it told her, “Make a Paper Star and collect them. When you have make 1,000 stars, your greatest wish will come true.”
And so the girl did and she collected them in a very secret bucket. Years later, she finally made 1,000 stars but instead of an accomplishment, she saw them as all the times when she felt alone or sad. The same star came again and asked her why she was still sad.
“I have made 1,000 sad and lonely stars,” the girl said. “What do I do with them now?”
And the star said, “Make them into something happy.”
The Paper Stars glowed and swirled around the fallen star and transformed it into a human girl too. They sat on the grass and the two girls talked for hours because all the lonely child ever wished for was a friend.

We decided to stache a different kind of cache. PLEASE do not leave any SWAG behind or remove to keep anything that is inside the container. Travel Bugs are more than welcome to be stached here, though.
So, what makes this cache different? You'll be tasked with a mission, I guess. The goal for this Cache is to collect as many paper stars as we can. And that's how you log this cache. After you find it you'll make your very own paper star with the strips of paper provided (or bring your own fancy strip of paper if you'd like) then write your name with the provided pen (or a sharpie or whatever just no pencil) on the same star that you've made and then on the otherside (if you have space) feel free to write the date.
There's also a small notebook inside the cache. This is intended to be used for tally/tick marks only. This is a way for us to keep track of how many stars we are creating without having to dump them all out and count again.
If you visit the cache with friends, please feel free to make a star for each of you but please also only make one star per person or per visit. We don't want to cheat in reaching our goal, right? What's the fun in that~
FTF goes to RS Arizona. Thank you for adding your star!
