As Michael and his mother gaze out the window at the millions of stars in the sky, he questions if wishes really come true if you wish on a star. He also wonders how to know which star is a wishing star. He goes to bed dreaming of the many things he might wish for, when he is awakened by a loud noise and a very bright light. To Michael's amazement, a real wishing star is in his room. He is now faced with the difficult decision of wishing for the things he wants or wishing for what someone else needs.
