Immediately the sky became full of shooting stars.Even one shooting star is a fihing to e; but the were dozens, and then scores, and then hundreds, till it was like silver rain, and it went on and on.And when it had gone on for some while, one or two of them began to think that there was another dark shape against the sky as well as the giant’s.It was in a different place, right overhead, up in the very roof of the sky as you might call it.“Perhaps it is a cloud,”thought Edmund.At any rate, there were no stars there, just blaess.But all around, the downpour of stars went on.And thearless patch began to grow, spreading further and further out from the ter of the sky.And prently a quarter of the whole sky was black, and then a half, and at last the rain of shooting stars was going on only low dowhe horizon.

With a thrill of wonder(and there was some terror in it too)they all suddenly realized what was happening.The spreading blaess was not a cloud at all, it was simply emptihe black part of the sky was the part in which there were no stars left.All the stars were falling.Aslan had called them home.
