Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lucy. She loved counting and always wanted to know the exact number of everything. One day, she asked her dad what was bigger, a million or a billion? Her dad told her a billion was much bigger. Lucy was amazed and asked how big a trillion was. Her dad explained it was a million times bigger than a billion.

Lucy was curious and decided to count the stars in the sky to see how many there were. After counting for hours, she realized there were too many to count. So, she asked her dad how many stars were in the universe. Her dad replied, "More than a trillion."

Lucy was shocked and asked how much exactly was a trillion. Her dad said it was a million times bigger than a billion and a thousand times bigger than a million.

"Wow!" said Lucy. "That's a lot of stars!" And with that, she went to bed dreaming about the vastness of the universe and all the stars she could count.

The end.
