I look up outside my bedroom window and I see lots of dots sparkling in the dark sky.

I wonder what they are and Daddy said they’re called stars, each of them as big as or maybe even bigger than the sun.

Daddy is silly because the sun is not that big.

It only looks about the size of a 10 cent coin in the sky. And the stars are even smaller, they look about the size of the holes in Mummy’s watering can I use to give water to the herbs we grow on our veranda.

Oh I get it, those are holes that are made to connect between day and night. Stars are little holes in the night sky that lets a little bit of sunlight shine through at night time.
