O senhor Anand parte para uma Aventura

Autores: Mala Kumar, Manisha Chaudhry

Ilustrador: Satya Krishna Prakash

O Sr. Anand gostava de caminhar pela floresta perto de sua casa.

"Não saia no escuro, pode haver animais estranhos por lá", seus filhos costumavam avisá-lo. Mas o Sr. Anand nunca os ouvia. "Andar quer dizer procurar por aventura!", ele dizia.

Um dia, ele encontrou uma estranha coisa verde sentada perto de uma árvore caída. Parecia estar chorando. "O que há de errado, Greeno?", Perguntou o Sr. Anand, gentilmente.

“Dru-be-do-bee-oda-bada...”, disse Greeno, movendo as mãos descontroladamente e mostrando uma fotografia muito estranha.

O Sr. Anand entendeu o seguinte: “Caí da minha nave espacial em cima desta árvore. Você pode me ajudar a encontrá-la, por favor, para que eu possa voltar para casa? O Sr. Anand adorava aventuras. Vendo que Greeno não conseguia andar, o Sr. Anand o carregou e eles procuraram pela nave espacial. O Sr. Anand também queria voltar para casa antes da hora do jantar!

De repente, Greeno pulou do ombro do Sr. Anand. “Ukra! Ikkraa! Jong jiilly jong! - ele gritou
pulando em direção a um objeto estranho. Parecia uma tenda sobre um barco. Muito esperto, o Sr. Anand entendeu as palavras como: “Yippee! Aqui está a minha nave espacial!"

Greeno pulou dentro da nave espacial. O Sr. Anand também pulou, esquecendo-se do jantar. De repente, ouviu-se um barulho forte e viu que a nave espacial tinha decolado!

O Sr. Anand adorava aventura, mas isso era realmente assustador - e se a gravata dele estivesse presa em uma árvore?

Logo, a nave espacial estava voando. “Turra barra! Jungaa! Bongaa! - exclamou Greeno.

O Sr. Anand achou que aquilo podia significar “Júpiter! Marte! Vênus! ”, mas ele realmente, não tinha muita certeza. Estava encantado por estar tão alto lá no céu. Talvez ele pudesse arrancar algumas estrelas e levá-las para casa!

Caro Leitor,

Você acha que o Sr. Anand poderia
ter arrancado as estrelas? Por quê?

Qual é a distância entre a Terra e
a estrela mais próxima?

Se pudesse
viajar para qualquer lugar que
quisesse, para onde você
iria?
