Have you ever wondered about the stars? In some ways, stars are like people. They are born, then grow old, and at last they die.
     A star is born from dust and gas. Slowly the dust and gas make a ball. The ball gets very hot. Then it stars to give off light.
     The young star grows into a giant. Many years go by. The older star begin to get small again. At last its light goes out. The star's life is over.
