Passage
Oskar loved to look through his father's telescope. He was
fascinated by the stars and planets, and on clear nights, his
father would set the telescope up and tell Oskar stories about
the constellations. Then, one night, when his parents were
asleep, Oskar set the telescope up secretly by himself. He
tried to adjust the focus, but when he turned a knob, it broke in
his hand! He was terrified. He put the broken telescope away
and spent the whole night in fear of what would happen if he
confessed to his father. But in the morning, he gathered his
nerve and told his father what he had done. His father was
silent for a moment, then hugged Oskar. "I know it was hard
for you to admit that," he said, "but I also know how much you
love the stars and planets. Let's fix it together so you can learn
more about how telescopes work."
Hi
