She was in a big, transparent, oval-

                shaped bubble that went up and

                up…


                It crossed the clouds. Diya looked

                around. She saw a big black button
                within reach and turned around.

                Sitting on a small platform on one

                side was Bravo. She felt  assured and
                focused outside.


                Her eyes opened wide as she looked

                in  wonder. There were sparkling

                stars all around! Real stars!


                Then she  spotted a big rock                               assured confident  and  secure
                moving in one direction, far away.                         wonder with  a  feeling  of  surprise  and
                                                                           admiration
                “That must be an  asteroid, Bravo!                         spotted saw  and  noticed  something

                My teacher had told me about                               asteroid an  object  like  a  very  large  rock
                                                                           that  goes  round  the  sun,  like  a  planet
                asteroids long back.” She looked                           response answer  or  reaction    to

                at the robot, but there was no                             somebody
                response. Next, she saw the moon.                          murmured said  something  in  a  low,  quiet
                                                                           voice
                A huge shining pearl in space! She                         thrilled extremely  happy  about  something

                wanted to get out of the bubble,                           fierce very  strong  and  frightening
                                                                           vigorously with  force  and  energy
                but it moved on. Only if she could
                touch the moon!


                Then, she saw a very big planet, red in colour. “That must be Mars,”

                she  murmured  to herself. The bubble moved towards it. Diya was too

                thrilled! She saw a mountain, some hills and big holes on its surface.
                Suddenly, there was a big, fierce dust storm. The bubble shook

                vigorously. “Oh! That was dangerous,” she said. “Thank God, we
