    Once upon a time, in a far-off galaxy, there was a little astronaut named Astro. Despite being small, Astro was full of courage and curiosity. One day, he saw a bright blue planet from his spaceship's window. It was the Earth. He decided to visit it and learn about its inhabitants.

    As Astro descended onto Earth in his spaceship, he was amazed by the beautiful green fields, vast oceans, and towering mountains. He landed in a lush green park where children were playing. Among them was a little girl named Lily.

    Astro, being from another galaxy, looked quite different from the children. His shiny suit and helmet attracted Lily’s attention. Fascinated, she approached the little astronaut.
