Cochiti Lejo lived in a small village in the desert. He was a curious boy, always looking up at the stars at night. One night, he saw a shooting star and made a wish.
The next day, Cochiti Lejo went to the river to play. He saw a beautiful fish swimming in the water. The fish was so bright and colorful that Cochiti Lejo had to catch it.
Cochiti Lejo caught the fish and took it home. He put it in a bowl of water and watched it swim. The fish was so beautiful that Cochiti Lejo decided to name it "Starfish."
Cochiti Lejo took care of Starfish every day. He fed it and cleaned its bowl. Starfish grew and grew until it was as big as a small dog.
One day, Cochiti Lejo and Starfish were playing in the desert when they saw a group of men on horses. The men were bandits, and they were looking for food and water.
Cochiti Lejo and Starfish hid behind a rock. The bandits rode past them, but they saw Starfish's bright colors. They turned around and chased after Cochiti Lejo and Starfish.
Cochiti Lejo and Starfish ran as fast as they could. They ran through the desert and into the mountains. The bandits chased them all the way, but they couldn't catch them.
Finally, Cochiti Lejo and Starfish reached the top of a mountain. They looked down and saw the bandits below. The bandits were tired and hungry, and they gave up the chase.
Cochiti Lejo and Starfish were safe. They lived happily ever after in the mountains, and they never saw the bandits again.
The End
