Anusha in wonderland Part - 11
In the night after dinner, Anusha’s dad asked her to come for a walk. Anusha was pleased and got ready. It was cold outside, hence she put on sweater and tied muffler to head.
When they were out of the door, she understood why her dad had asked her to accompany. It was a moonless night. There were thousands of stars in the black sky above. The stars were blinking. After some walk they sat in the garden. Anusha started staring the sky. It was marvelous scene. The stars were scattered every where in the sky. Some stars were bright some were faint. While looking at the sky, a thought came to her mind. She thought, her point children in magic school are just like these stars.
“ Dad, what are these stars?”
Dad told “ All these tiny stars you see in the sky are really very big in size, even bigger than our sun. But as they are at a very far away distance from our earth, we see them as small points.
If you see the night sky frequently for many days you will find that they have moved a little bit from their position each time. But this movement is same for all stars. So you will see same distance between different stars.”
Anusha tried to imagine the far away stars and how they are just points in the sky. She could not understand why they should so small.
Looking at confused expression on face of Anusha, dad explained “ When you draw apple tree on paper, how you show apples on the tree. By small circles isn’t it? Noe if you draw garden of many small apple trees on the same size paper, how will you show apples on all those trees? By just small points. Correct? “ “Yes.” Anusha replied.
Dad said “ Similarly , when we are far away, we see these giant stars as points.”
Now Anusha understood the reason of little stars in the sky.
After strolling for some time they returned home.
When Anusha went to magic math school, she told her experience of starry night to point children and said that they were stars. The children were happy. Anusha thought that she learned this new knowledge by going out so why not take point children to some outside trip. When she announced this in the classroom, all children started dancing merrily. She ordered a tourist bus and they went to nearby sea shore.
On the sea shore, all point children were pleased to see the sea waves. They played in the sand on the shore. Anusha sat nearby looking at their play. She observed that all seashore was full of fine white sand. She took some sand in her hand and poured it back. While looking at it, she felt that all the sand particles are like point children.
The thought was like a lightening in her mind. She now realized that small solid particles also can be considered as points, just like stars in the sky.
The bright light fell on her eyes. Her mom had put on light bulb and was calling her to wake up.
