He finds a crying green visitor, Greeno, who has fallen from a space-boat and asks for help. Mr. Anand carries Greeno, finds the craft, and they board together. The space-boat lifts into the sky, sparking wonder about space and stars, with questions for the reader about exploring and wishing.","Mr. Anand has an Adventure Mala Kumar, Manisha Chaudhry  \nSatya Krishna Prakash  \nMr. Anand liked to walk through the woods near his house.”Don’t go out in the dark, there may be strange animals there,” his children often warned him. But Mr. Anand never listened to them.”To walk is to find adventure!” he would say.  \nOne day, he found a strange green thing sitting near a fallen tree . He seemed to be crying.”What is wrong, Greeno?” asked Mr. Anand kindly.”Dru-be-do-bee-oda-bada...” said Greeno, moving his hands wildly and showing a very strange photograph.  \nThis is what Mr. Anand understood: ”I fell out of my space-boat and landed on this tree . Will you help me find it please so that I may go home?” Mr. Anand loved adventure . Seeing that Greeno was unable to walk, Mr. Anand carried him and they looked for the spaceboat. Mr. Anand also wanted to get back home before dinner time!  \nSuddenly, Greeno jumped off Mr. Anand’s shoulder.”Ukra! Ikkraa! Jong jiilly jong!” he shouted skipping towards a strange object. It looked like a tent over a boat. Clever Mr. Anand understood the words as: ”Yippee! Here is my space-boat!”  \nGreeno jumped into the space-boat. Mr. Anand jumped in too, forgetting about his dinner. Suddenly, there was a loud sound, and he saw that the space-boat had lifted off into the sky! Mr. Anand loved adventure, but this was really scary – what if his tie got caught in a tree?  \nSoon, the space-boat was up in the air.”Turra barra! Jungaa! Bongaa!” cried Greeno . Mr. Anand thought it might mean ”Jupiter! Mars! Venus!” but he was not really sure . He was just delighted to be so high in the sky. Maybe, he could pluck a few stars and take them home!  \nDear Reader, Do you think Mr. Anand could have plucked stars? Why? How far away from Earth is the nearest star?
