Trip To Planets

Mayur POV

I’m struggling to learn names of Planets in the right order.

Mother:

“My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us the Nine Planets. I cannot show you the planets. But I can help you remember all the planets in the right order through a trick, my dear Son!” answers my mother.

Author:

Curious how this trick still works? ‘Trip to Planets’ reveals the answer, while also sharing many more fascinating scientific facts through its engaging story. For you, I present bits and pieces of Trip To Planets.

After the trick is thought,

Mayur: Oh! That’s a cool trick!

As I enter my room, I am surprised to see Little Krishna sitting on the Sofa while waiting for me. He is playing a melodious flute which melts my ears! Along with the pleasant music my ears get to enjoy, my eyes fall in devotion to his grace.

Krishna walks near me and says, “Mayur, I’m extremely bored. Shall we go on a Trip to all the Planets in our Solar System?”

I shout in excitement, “Wow! A visit to all the planets. That’s a great idea! But, isn’t that considered impossible?”

“I am Krishna. I can do anything.”

Magic begins,

Saying so, Krishna takes the peacock feather to do the magic, and we turn it into Hydrogen gas!

The journey begins,

We were still nearing the surface of the Sun as Hydrogen. But the Sun furiously pulled me and Krishna with its gravity, converted us into Helium, and threw us out! The transition was so quick that I hardly got to observe the change. As Helium, I felt very light. I remembered my science teacher saying, “Helium is the lightest gas, and that’s why balloons filled with Helium gas can fly high in the sky.” I could now feel the joy of flying! As Helium, we reached the first planet, Mercury.

As journey continues,

“Yes, Krishna!” I replied! “I felt dry and dirty all this while. Now I feel chill and wet!”

After some more traveling, while we were somewhere between Venus and Earth, I say, “Look, they just look like twins.”

While on Earth as Water,

“Krishna, are we trapped here? Sun will rescue us? How.”

Krishna says,

Just like parents do anything and everything to protect their child, Mars and Jupiter are protecting Earth.

As journey continues,

So, Little Krishna with his magic created a layer of sliding ice on top of the ring for me to roll over!

When Mayur faints,

A fountain of water was sprayed on me, and I woke up in disgust and fear. In front of my eyes, I could see an Elephant’s trunk, and the next round of water was sprayed on me. “Stop… Please stop pouring water on me. I’m awake and fine.”

The next introduction,

Little Ganesha hugs me back saying, “Thank you, Mayur. It was a pleasure meeting you too!”

Mighty Ganesha,

An older great dark spot did throw our balloon out of Neptune’s atmosphere. But our plan failed since Neptune’s gravity and winds pulled us back. Ganesh again came to our rescue, on his little mouse!

The story ends,

“Mommy, I’ll grow up and become an Astronaut.” I’ll go to the moon without Krishna’s help!
