از زمین تا ستاره‌ها

From the Earth to the Stars

Jeremy was from a family of miners. Like them, he worked underground during the day. His job was to find raw minerals and jewels. Each night after work, he lay awake in an open field. With his telescope, he looked at the stars.

He was amazed by the scale of space. He wished someday he might travel there.

One day there was an accident in the mine. Water poured into the mine.

Everything was dark. Jeremy stretched out and grabbed a piece of wood. It kept him from sinking.

For a long time he floated in silence. Then he heard voices. The other miners were coming to rescue him.

This accident made Jeremy think about his job and his life. The next day he skipped work. He made a very important decision, he had the courage to follow his decision. He decided to become an astronaut.

For the next two years, Jeremy studied and trained hard. He complete his training. One day, he was given permission to participate in a journey to space. His wish had been granted.

His spaceship left the ground. It went higher until there was no more gravity. Part of his job was to send out a satellite that would then float away from the spaceship.

Now, instead of just looking at the stars, Jeremy could look at the Earth as well.
