1Once in a lifetime, a bright comet returns to visit our sky.
2Astronomers announced that it would shine clearly in our sky for ten whole nights.
3Our neighbours planned a small party on the hill behind the village.
4Everyone carried blankets, warm drinks, and old cameras up the narrow dark path.
5The town turned off its streetlights so the sky would stay dark.
6At midnight, the comet appeared above the pine trees without a sound.
7Its long white tail stretched across the crowded stars like a line of frozen smoke.
8A little girl asked if the comet could hear her quiet wish.
9Her grandfather smiled and answered that wishes travel faster than any rocket.
10The comet is mostly ice and dust older than the Earth itself.
11When sunlight touches the comet, the frozen ice turns into a huge shining cloud.
12We stayed until dawn, knowing that this comet will not return soon.
