Unknown Story
Storyboard Text
- I looked up to the stars and tried to figure out which was the best one. You could see hundreds, maybe thousands or even millions, twinkling in the clear desert sky. The longer you looked and the more your eyes adjusted to the dark, the more stars you'd see, layer after layer of them gradually becoming visible. There was one in particular, in the west above the mountains but low in the sky, that shone more brightly than all the rest.
- "I want that one," I said.
- "I like it anyway," I said. I had admired Venus even before Christmas. You could see it in the early evening, glowing on the western horizon, and if you got up early, you could still see it in the morning, after all the stars had disappeared.
- Dad grinned. "That's Venus," he said. Venus was only a planet, he went on, and pretty dinky compared to real stars. She looked bigger because she was much closer than the stars. Poor old Venus didn't even make her own light.
- "What the hell," Dad said. "It's Christmas. You can have a planet if you want."And he gave me Venus.
