4 🌟Two sisters are looking at the night sky, and the oldest sister sees and explains the big dipper. But Usha, the younger sister says she sees a big digger, just like her favorite truck. Their cousin comes to join them, and they see a kite. Many different things can be seen in these formations. Some have cultural references, and some are just the readers imagination.
