AN ASTRONOMER BOY
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
There was once a boy who cried
after his parents went to the market
and brought him a Christmas tree.
-All children are happy
when they receive a Christmas tree -
his parents wondered -,
why are you crying?
.
Then the boy
(who was a secret precocious astronomer)
answered them:
-I don't like the artificial lights on this tree,
so please go to the constellation Monoceros
next year
to bring me the Christmas Tree Cluster.
I prefer its pure lights.
