Astronomer X:
Children, do you have any questions about the Universe?
A little girl:
A colleague asked me where the stars hide in the morning.
I answered that the stars do not run away,
only the light of the Sun comes and covers them.

Astronomer Y:
Children, do you know that the nearest star is Proxima Centauri,
located more than four light years from Earth?
A little boy:
I thought the nearest star is the Sun!

The storyteller's conclusion:
The probability that a child is more sensitive
than an astropoet
is similar
to the probability that another child is more intelligent
than an astronomer.
