Summary

The Story of the Opal is a story of how the Opal came to be. One day a sunbeam hears some birds talking and wants to know what is this beautiful thing they are talking about. The Nightingale tells him it is a Moonbeam and she is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. The sunbeam wants to wait and see the moonbeam but he can’t because when the sun sets he needs to go with it. One day the moon rises before the sun has completely set, will the sunbeam finally be able to see a moonbeam?
