El Planeta, (7)/ The Planet, (7)
En aquel instante la luna vio que Alejandro, el asteroide se le acercaba y con mucha fuerza como siempre.
--¡Ya sé!—le gritó. –Tu nombre será Astra, porque vienes de las estrellas.
La luna sonrió. –Astra…pues, me gusta.
Entonces Astra empezó a girar un poquito más rápido por la felicidad que sentía de tener su propio nombre. Pensaba que ahora era especial, un poco mejor que una estrella cualquiera, mejor que cualquier asteroide que giraba debajo de ella, mejor aun que otra luna en el universo girando cerca de su planeta. Con el nombre tenía orgullo, belleza, gracia, e inteligencia. Bueno, eso creía.
Así anduvo Astra luciendo su nuevo nombre por otro millón de años.
Suddenly she remembered about the name that Alexander had promised her. What name would he find for me? the little moon thought.
In that instant the moon saw that Alexander, the asteroid was approaching her and with a lot of force as usual.
“I got it!” he shouted. “Your name will be Astra because you come from the stars.”
The moon smiled. “Astra…hmm, I like it.”
So Astra began to spin a little faster because of the happiness she felt at having her own name. She thought that now she was special, a little better than any old star, better than any old asteroid that was whirling underneath her, even better than another moon in the universe spinning near its planet. With a name she had pride, beauty, grace and intelligence. At least that’s what she thought.
Astra went around showing off her new name for another million years.

El Planeta, (3)/The Planet, (3)
The years went by as if they were seconds and the little moon was changing too. She began to think on things that she couldn’t see but knew existed, things like happiness, love and light. She knew that she felt love for her planet, that spinning around him made her happy and even though she was in darkness, light existed somewhere. Pondering the light gradually she felt a change in her surface and from very far away she began to notice a point of something, oh, soon she realized it was a star and that star was getting closer to her. Each moment the little moon felt her body warmer and now she could see her planet more clearly and in that moment she knew that she was part of everything, part of the planet and part of the star at the same time. Upon understanding this, the little moon’s heart filled up with happiness.
Continuará. To be continued.

El Planeta
Había una vez en el espacio mucho muy lejos y en una epoca muy antigua un planeta pequeño a punto de nacer. Aquel “planeta” no era más que piedras, cráteres y tierra. No había seres humanos, ni animales ni microbios aun. Ese planeta acababa de salir de una roca tan grande que giraba tan fuerte que ese pedacito de futuro planeta se rompió de repente y empezó a girar en una órbita aparte. Todavía su forma no era completamente redonda e giraba en una órbita bastante errática. A causa de esa órbita chueca otro pedacito de planeta, (si uno puede llamarlo “planeta”) se rompió y comenzó a girar alrededor del pequeño planeta como su luna. Esa “luna” no era reflejo del sol porque todavía no había llegado el sol para formar parte de ese nuevo sistema solar. Así comenzó la historia de la luna inquieta.
Continuará.
