“Don’t they?” said Rollo.
“No,” said Jonas; “only there are a few wandering stars, that keep wandering about among the others. But the rest all keep exactly in their places, and all go round together; so they are called fixed stars.”
“Show me one of the wandering stars,” said Rollo.
“I don’t know which they are,” said Jonas, “only they are pretty bright ones.”
“I guess that’s one,” said Rollo, pointing to a pretty bright star in the east.
“Perhaps it is,” said Jonas.
“I wish I knew,” said Rollo.
“I’ll tell you how you can find out,” said Jonas.
“How?” asked Rollo.
