Once upon a time there was a star called
the Sun. She lived in a giant house called
space, where thousands of yellow stars
and very hard and grey rocks also lived
here. Sol had no friends, she had no
partner to talk to, so she felt very lonely.

-Hello, what’s your name? -said the
rock
-Hello, my name is Sol -getting a little
bit red
-Why are you alone? Do you have
friends? -ask her the rock
