Chanda Mama Counts the Stars
Chanda Mama! At times round as a circle and at times different. Once, he started counting the stars. 1 … 2 … 3 … 10 … 21 … 45 … 99 … 100 … 311 … 516 … 890 … yawn … 999 …
Chanda Mama fell asleep! The Sun peeped out from behind the clouds. It was morning. Chanda Mama woke up in the evening. He began to count again. But he had forgotten where he had stopped! By the time he remembered, the night was over. However, he continued to count the stars night after night. Often, he would forget the count.
One night, he was very upset. He began to cry. “Ooohh … Ooohh … What is this? I am never able to complete my counting.”
On seeing his tears, the Sun smiled, “Don’t worry! Why do you cry? I can tell you how many stars there are in the sky.”
“Really? How many?” Chanda Mama was surprised.
The Sun replied joyfully, “The number of lovely children is the same as the number of stars in the sky.”
Chanda Mama was happy! Now, the Moon came out every night. He would look at the stars. He would look at the children and he would smile happily.
The number of stars in the sky is the same as __________________.
