“Tap one star—what changed?” The actual engine is notice one new light → count one → name sky change → pause → choose. Spencer notices and counts the first star; Lex names the sky becoming darker.

Flutter Star Chant
Blackberry Lane—look and see;
One small star shone quietly.
Spencer tapped one knee: “Just one.”
Lex said, “Evening has begun.”
Stone footbridge—pause and hear;
Silver sky grew darker here.
“Something changed,” said Lex with care;
One new light was shining there.
Hawkins Hollow trail—what shall we choose?
Say “One star,” or rest our shoes—
Or whisper silly, “Star-tap-flit!”
Then watch the evening settle a bit.
Flutter-star taps in make-believe play
Sent tiny sparkles through the gray.
Tap one star—what changed?
Kind noticing helps us name it.
