Ierna Mijancas: The Brave Little Stargazer Who Faced Her Fears

Have you ever felt like you were too small or too scared to do something you really wanted to do? Well, Ierna Mijancas was a little stargazer who felt just like that. But she decided to face her fears and embark on an adventure that would change her life forever.
Ierna Mijancas lived in a small village nestled in the mountains. She loved to look up at the stars at night, but she was afraid of the dark. One night, her best friend, a little boy named Mateo, invited her to go stargazing with him. Ierna was excited, but she was also scared. She didn't want Mateo to know that she was afraid of the dark, so she pretended to be brave and said yes.
Mateo and Ierna hiked up to a hilltop outside of the village. They spread out a blanket and lay down to look at the stars. Mateo pointed out different constellations and told Ierna stories about them. Ierna was amazed by the beauty of the stars and she started to forget about her fear.
But then, a cloud passed over the moon and it got very dark. Ierna started to feel scared again. She wanted to go home, but she didn't want to admit to Mateo that she was afraid. So she just lay there, shivering.
Mateo sensed that something was wrong. He put his arm around Ierna and said, "Are you okay?"
Ierna hesitated for a moment, and then she whispered, "I'm scared of the dark."
Mateo smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm here with you."
Mateo and Ierna continued to look at the stars. They talked about their dreams and their hopes for the future. Ierna started to feel more and more relaxed. She realized that there was nothing to be afraid of. The dark was just a part of nature, and it was nothing to be scared of.
As the night went on, Ierna started to feel sleepy. She closed her eyes and listened to the sound of Mateo's breathing. She felt safe and content.
When Ierna woke up, the sun was shining and the birds were singing. She stretched and yawned, and then she looked around. Mateo was gone.
Ierna stood up and brushed the dirt off her clothes. She looked up at the sky and smiled. She was no longer afraid of the dark. She had faced her fears and she had come out stronger.
Ierna Mijancas went on to become a great stargazer. She traveled the world, studying the stars and learning about the universe. She never forgot the night she faced her fears, and she always remembered the lesson she learned: there is nothing to be afraid of if you have courage.
The next time you are afraid of something, remember the story of Ierna Mijancas. And remember, you are braver than you think.
