Bears are large creatures with big claws. They can be dangerous, Arsenio warned his daughter. He didn’t want to spoil the mood with stories of monsters.

A tangle of clouds passed over their heads and obscured the glittering heavens from full view. Around the edges of the cloud, Arsenio could still see the light that made it glow.

What would you call that one? he asked his daughter, gesturing to a small star in the far reaches of the black sky.
