A father and son were camping one night when they decided to lie on the grass and look for constellations (星座).

The father asked his son, “Which is farther away, Canada or the moon?”

His son replied, “Canada.”

His son laughed out loud and said that it was really simple. He pointed to the sky and said, “Well, we can see the moon, but we can’t see Canada.”
