In summer, the Perseids begin. A meteor shower means many shooting stars. Tiny dust bits make bright lines. This shower is strongest later in summer. Before sunrise is a good time. A dark place helps a lot. City lights can hide the sky. (science.nasa.gov)
My family brings a mat and tea. We sit in the yard. The air is warm. We wait a long time. My little brother counts stars. Mom points at the dark sky. Then one fast light comes. It is small, but beautiful. We smile and make a wish.
