Adhrit is just back from a short trip to hometown in interiors of his paternal village. It was Adhrit's first adventure of sleeping on terrace in summers!
After a 1.5 hour flight and 4 hour road journey we had reached home to find there's no electricity and family was sleeping on terrace. We all were excited to join them and our long separated pets..Pluto and Marcei, their affection would suffice to refresh us!
"D'Arcy wants to sleep on his bed", my son Adhrit cried and I was afraid he will wake up everyone enjoying their sleep at 1 am, and I was feeling worried how he would take this experience ahead.
Just to distract him, I said see there's lot of wind here, it's cool. He was intrigued. He walked up to his dadi and enquired "where is this wind coming from, there's no AC or Fan here. Just to satisfy his innocent desire, she replied it's coming from moon!
He found it interesting, asked "but moon is not moving" (like the blades of a fan or swing of an AC) She replied, see it is moving watch closely. He observed to see if she is right and thought perhaps it is! - "Where is Moon's switch" ...was his next query.. Before she could reply came another question - "Dadi, where is moon's charger? "
The nights of entire week after that was spent watching how the location of moon with reference to our spot on the terrace.
Some time back I was narrating this incident to a relative and he asked.. Beta where is moon's charger and D'Arcy replied with a confident smile. "Sun is the charger".
Now he knows!
