THE ASTRONOMER
I only said，“When in the evening the round full moon gets entangled among the branches of that Kadam tree，couldn’t somebody catch it？”
But dada [elder brother] laughed at me and said，“Baby，you are the silliest child I have ever known．The moon is ever so far from us，how could anybody catch it？”
I said，“Dada，how foolish you are！When mother looks out of her window and smiles down at us playing，would you call her far away？”
Still dada said，“You are a stupid child！But，baby，where could you find a net big enough to catch the moon with？”
