FAST!


Hello there.


I'll bet you are FAST!

Right?

But I know YOU know other things that are faster!

If you have a dog or know a dog-- that animal can probably run even faster than YOU.

When you ride in a car you go even faster!

Faster than a very fast dog!

Any when you fly in a plane you go faster still!

Space rockets can go even FASTER!

BUT--do you know what goes fastest of all?

(Pause for answers.)

Yes!

LIGHT!!

LIGHT is the fastest thing we know about.

When you turn on a light-- the light from the lightbulb gets to you eye so fast you can't even think about it before it is in your eye!

Now look at the picture of the cartoon star I drew for you.

As fast as light goes--it still takes light YEARS to get from the star to your eye!

And not just four or five years--but HUNDREDS of years!!

Isn't that interesting?

See you tomorrow!

Uncle Tom
