The Shooting Star Watch

A grassy hill at night. Aunt Rosa, Malik, and Ivy sit on a blanket.

Malik: The sky is so cloudy. I am unsure we will see a shooting star.

Aunt Rosa: Let's wait. The wind will blow the clouds away.

Ivy: Brr! It is windy up here. Can you refill my cup with warm cocoa?

Aunt Rosa: Sure. Now look up! The sky is starry.

Malik: I see one! A shooting star zoomed by!

Ivy: Oh no, I missed it. I am so unlucky!

Aunt Rosa: Keep watching. More will come.

Ivy: There's one! I saw it! I will retell this story at school.

Malik: Now I am sleepy. Can we come back next year?
