The little twin brothers,
Castor and Pollux,
sons of Jupiter; always sit together up among the stars. The constellation is called Gemini ([Fig. 627]). When stars are clustered together, we say the group is a constellation. All of the starry people and animals are only different constellations. In this group each boy has a star on his head, a star on one knee and a star on one foot, which makes six stars. Trace the twins on cardboard, cut them out together in one piece and punch a hole through the centre of each star. Hold the constellation up to the light, and the group of wee, sparkling stars seen through the pinholes will resemble [Fig. 628]. Look for the twins during the months of December, January, February, March, April and May, and remember you must find the group of stars like [Fig. 628].
