One cool summer evening, a grandfather and grandson were sitting on the veranda in front of the house. Looking at the starry sky with curiosity, the grandson asked:
- Grandfather, what is that star over there that is so bright? - And he pointed his hand to the south.
- Hmm, do you know what kind of star this is? Yes, this is Polar!
The old man did not want to reveal his ignorance, and yet he only knew the name of one star.
However, the inquisitive boy did not calm down:
- You're wrong, grandpa. The North Star is in the north, and this is probably the constellation Pisces.
The old man realized that he had made a mistake.
– Don’t you know that the North Star will be in the south for the next few days? Just – shh... Look, don’t tell anyone! Let this be our secret.
