00:00The Sun, Moon and Stars
00:06Children would have their story session with Granddad till Grandmom called them in for
00:12dinner.
00:14So Grandfather was a little surprised when he saw Arzu restless this evening.
00:22The children had arrived just this morning for their 45-day summer vacation, but he
00:29continued with the story.
00:33Suddenly Arzu burst out, It is not fair, Grandpa.
00:37You have so many more stars than we have back home, and your stars are brighter too.
00:45Grandpa now understood what was troubling Arzu.
00:50Arman, who had immediately looked up at the sky too, said, Wow, Grandpa, have you stolen
00:57our stars?
00:58You have so many, and we have so few.
01:02Grandpa smiled.
01:04He said, No one can steal stars, no one can even reach close to them.
01:11Stars are actually very big balls of fire.
01:17They are very, very far away, so they look like tiny lights in the sky.
01:26You can see more stars here because the air is clean and there is no pollution.
01:36In the city where you live, the air is not clean, and so the stars appear to be far fewer
01:46there.
01:49The next morning, Grandpa woke them up early and took them for a walk in the garden behind
01:55their house.
01:56As the sun rose, he continued from where he had left last night.
02:04You see the sun, this is also a star, but since it is much closer to earth than the
02:14other stars, we can see it as a big yellow ball in the sky.
02:23Even now, you feel I have stolen the stars from your city?
02:28He asked Arman, and they all started laughing.
02:33All living things need the sun.
02:36Without the sun, there would be no life on earth.
02:40It gives us heat and light.
02:45It rises from the east every morning and sets in the west every evening.
02:56We should never look directly at the sun, as it can harm our eyes.
03:03Seven sunrises and sunsets make up a week.
03:08We have given a name to every day of the week.
03:12They are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
03:25The moon is like a white shining ball.
03:31Sometimes it appears golden, sometimes blue and sometimes white.
03:39Observe the moon every two days.
03:41It will have a different shape.
03:45On one day, every four weeks, we see a full moon and on one day, we see no moon in the
03:53sky.
03:55The moon is not a star.
03:59It does not have light of its own.
04:02It shines because the light of the sun falls on it.
04:09The moon is closer to the earth.
04:12The moon is not hot.
04:16That is why people have gone to the moon in rockets.
04:21But those people wear special suits.
04:25They are called astronauts.
04:30Now you know.
04:33There are millions of stars in the sky.
04:36We cannot count them.
04:40Stars are big balls of fire.
04:43They are very far from earth.
04:48The sun is also a star.
04:50It is closer to earth than the other stars.
04:56All living things need the sun.
04:59It gives us heat and light.
05:04The moon is not a star.
05:06We see it in the sky at night.
05:11The moon reflects the light of the sun.
05:16The moon changes its shape every day.
