Once upon a time, there was an astronomer named Professor Starry who lived in a big observatory on top of a hill. He was famous for his ability to predict the movements of stars and planets with incredible accuracy.
One day, he came up with a theory that a comet was about to pass by Earth, and he predicted its exact orbit and time of arrival.
However, on the day of the comet's arrival, it was obscured by clouds, making it impossible for the Professor to observe it.
Desperate to prove his theory, he snuck into a nearby kindergarten class during recess and convinced the kids to help him search for the comet.
They searched high and low, but the comet was nowhere to be found. Just as the Professor was about to give up hope, one of the kids pointed to a partial image of the comet peeking through the clouds.
The Professor was overjoyed and declared it a "coincidence of cosmic proportions". The kids giggled and they all went back to class, with the Professor promising to take them on a star-gazing trip as a reward.
The end.

Reflections

1. Why did the astronomer sneak into the kindergarten class?
2. How did the kids help find the comet?
3. What was the "coincidence of cosmic proportions"?
4. How did the Professor feel when he found the partial image of the comet?
5. What reward did the Professor promise to the kids?
