"The Star Child"
The Star-Child is the story of an infant boy found abandoned in the woods by a poor woodcutter, who pities him and takes him in. He grows up to be exceedingly beautiful, but vain, cruel, and arrogant, believing himself to be the divine child of the stars. He lords himself over the other children, who follow him devotedly, and takes pleasure in torturing the forest animals and town beggars alike, is transformed into a loathsome cross between a toad and a snake as a punishment, but at the story's end, we are told of his kind, loving, and charitable reign where he is transformed to his former beautiful self.
