Rabindranath Tagore - The Astronomer
Work rating: Medium

I only said, "When in the evening the round full moon gets
entangled among the beaches of that Dadam tree, couldn`t somebody
catch it?"
     But dada laughed at me and said, "Baby, you are the silliest
child I have ever known. The moon is ever so far from us, how could
anybody catch it?"
     I said, "Dada, how foolish you are! When mother looks out of
her window and smiles down at us playing, would you call her far
away?"
     Still dada said, "You are a stupid child! But, baby where
could you find a net big enough to catch the moon with?"
     I said, "Surely you could catch it with your hands."
     But dada laughed and said, "You are the silliest child I have
known. If it came nearer, you would see how big the moon is."
     I said, "Dada, what nonsense they teach at your school! When
mother bends her face down to kiss us, does her face look very
big?"
     But still dada says, "You are a stupid child."
