"In a way, you're all riiiiight." Marion nodded, still smiling.. "A constellation is a formation of the stars, perceived as a design or a shape of some kind. Eighty-eight of the constellations are now recognized, a few of them more popular than the rest." Marion's eyes twinkled before she added, "And like someone pointed out rightly, Constellations are not reeeeal. They are a way to help us understand how the stars are aligned in the sky."

"Sinceee you all have an idea as tooooo what a constellation is, I would like you all darlings to name one constellation and tell me something about it." BEAM.
She was smart. The Professor just said so. Clearly there would be a game later on in the lesson and as that was the case she would happily wait. For now she would stay focused; work before play and all that formal stuff.

While the professor went on with the class she began rocking back and forth on her chair, trying to picture the pretty dots in the sky. There were so many of them and they were all so prettiful when you took the time to get to know them. Her chair came to a halt when the next question was posed. Wait...the pictures in the sky had names...?

...

Yeah...

Yeah they did, didn't they? Come to think of it, she could remeber her cousin trying to explain them to her one night. There were tonnes of them and it wasn't easy for her to remember all of them BUT she did remember one in particular. "You also have the big dipper!" The ice-cream scooper as her cousin had called. It was hard to miss when it was out.

"I think the others stars use it during those big parties in the sky, for ice-cream and other goodies." You know the kind her step-mother kept telling her she would send her to. "but there's no proof of that...I guess..."
