A star fell from the sky 2

The star asked me why the world was what it was. I thought about that question for a long time.

“I don’t know.” I answered.

Then the star asked me why there wasn’t peace on Earth like there was in the sky.

“Well, because there’s evil here. There is no evil in the sky.”

Then the star asked me what evil was.

“Evil is something that is wrong.”

The star wanted to know how you could tell right from wrong.

“When you do something wrong you hurt someone. When you do something right, you help someone.” I explained.

The star had a puzzled look on its face.

” What’s the matter?” I asked it.

“Well,” the star replied,” There’s only one more thing I don’t understand.”

“What’s that?” I asked.

"Why is everyone being wrong to the world? Don't you know right from wrong?"
