One of the nights of that month in April, Dona Benta was in her rocking chair, there on the porch, with her eyes on the sky full of stars. The kids had gathered there too.
Suddenly, Narizinho, who was on another step of the stairs, knitting, screamed.
– Grandma, Emilia is sticking her tongue out for me!
But Dona Benta didn't hear. He never took his eyes off the stars. Finding that strange, the boys were approaching. And they were also looking at the sky, looking for what was holding the good old woman's attention.
– What is it, grandma, that you see up there? I'm not seeing anything. – said Pedrinho.
Dona Benta couldn't help but laugh. He put his glasses on him and pulled him onto his lap and said:
– Can't you see anything, my son? So he looks up at the starry sky and sees nothing?
– I only see little stars. - The boy muttered.
– And do you think little, my son?
