Read the story Easy English
Tonight, five-year-old Lisa looks up at the dark sky filled with bright stars and feels curious to be an astronaut. She puts on her big white spacesuit and her helmet. Lisa walks to the tall, quiet rocket, sits inside, and buckles her seat. She counts down three, two, one, blast off, and the rocket goes up, up, up into the sky while Lisa feels light and calm.
Looking out the window, Lisa sees the round, blue Earth and thinks it is beautiful. Soon, she is in space where there is no gravity, and she floats slowly, moving her arms and legs while laughing softly. Lisa sees the big, bright moon and learns that the moon has rocks and dust. She sees many stars shining like little lights in the quiet, calm space.
Taking a deep breath, Lisa thinks about her home and family, feeling safe. Soon, it is time to go back, so the rocket turns around and flies down, down, down until it lands on Earth. Lisa takes off her helmet, smiles after exploring space, and closes her eyes to go to sleep.
