John’s first summer job was selling lemonade with Tom on the beach. They could save little money, because they drank much of their lemonade themselves. It was so hot on the beach.

　　The sun gives more light than all the electric lights in the world. It gives us light and heat. Without sunshine, nothing will grow in the world.

 

　　At night we can see the stars. All day the stars are in the sky, but the light from the sun is bright, so we can’t see them. The stars are bright only when the sky is dark.

 

　　The stars look very, very small, but some are bigger than the sun. Things look small when they are far away. Planes in the sky look like toys, but on the ground they are very big.

 

　　The moon is a ball, too, like the earth and the sun. It is smaller than the stars, but it looks bigger because it is nearer to the earth. The moon has no light. It is bright because the sun shines on it.
