Alex was in his science lab carrying out his usual experiments. But, this time, he had thought of making a robot, which he wanted to gift to King Andrew during his birthday celebration. At that moment, Twisha came into the lab with Oreo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twisha, a year younger than Alex, is a sweet, pretty and short-tempered cousin. She asked Alex about his new experiment and shared her thoughts about going to the Moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex said, \u201cWow! Moon. I know you always wanted to go there. However, right now, going to the moon is more like a dream as we do not have a spacecraft. One day, I will take you to the moon\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne day! Seriously Alex. It doesn\u2019t seem that near now. I surely want to go now,\u201d said Twisha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, Twisha! Don\u2019t lose heart. I just remembered that Dr Peter is a Rocket scientist. He lives in the U.S.A, and I\u2019ll talk to him about it,\u201d said Alex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twisha replied, \u201cDon\u2019t make it tough. I will take you there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex was wonderstruck and astonished and teased her, \u201cYou are not a scientist. Are you a magician?  HA HA HA HA HA HA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twisha frowned. Seeing her annoyed, Alex said, \u201cOk, ok, so when are we going? How are we going? For how long are we going? What are we taking along?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Oreo heard the word going. He whined as if he should not be forgotten in their plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twisha replied, \u201cSo many questions in one go. Bro, relax. We\u2019ll go after two days on the full moon night.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twisha patted Oreo and said, \u201cMy Lil pup, I\u2019m sorry you can\u2019t go this time, but I\u2019ll treat you with your favourite bone and peanut butter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As planned, on the full moon night, they both go on the terrace; Twisha asks Alex to lie down on the spread carpet. It was attractive, multicoloured with stars on it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex gets grumpy, \u201cAre you serious. Is this your plan? Just lying down, and we\u2019ll reach the Moon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHave patience, this carpet has magical powers, and it will take us to the moon,\u201d said Twisha. Her mind is burdened and overworking how to calm Alex and end his curiosity. Then, as in a trance-like state, she can take him and bring him back quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twisha picks up the crystal ball and asks him to focus on it and take deep breaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In no time, Alex exclaims, \u201cWowww! We have finally landed. It\u2019s giant. Twisha, you know other names of Moon, its Luna, Selena or say Artemis. Moon is the only natural satellite of our planet and the second brightest object in the sky after the sun. Any object on the Moon will weigh six times less than on Earth. It rests on the tallest mountain, the Mons Huygens. Twisha, you would have read too, that Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the Moon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex, for hours, kept gaping and looking around in awe. He is surprised that Twisha has not spoken and asks her, \u201cHey! Why are you not saying anything? You also know so much. So you should share your learnings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twisha giggles and pats Alex\u2019s shoulder, \u201cHey, Bro, how are you doing? I think you completely enjoyed your visit to the Moon.\u201d Alex rubbed his eyes and looked at her with his mouth open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
