How Krishna consoled the dwarf planet Pluto

Wonderful dream

It was a very very cold winter night. I was cuddled with my mom and listening  happily to a story about Lord Krishna. It was very interesting. I enjoyed it very  much and went to sleep happily. I had a very strange and wonderful dream that night.

I saw I was sitting in my balcony and humming a little tune when someone  tapped me on my shoulders. I turned and saw a beautiful tender face, two  sparkly eyes, one sweet mouth curled up into a smile and a peacock feather on the curly black hair of the guest.

“Krishna,finally you came to meet me!” I said jumping with joy.

‘Golok Dham’ or the ‘Outer Space’

“Shh! Don’t make noise, my dear friend,” Krishna said and started walking  away.

“Where are you going,” I asked running after him. “I am going to visit the ‘Golok Dham’ or the ‘Outer Space’ as you know it, woud you like to join me?” he asked  laughing merrily.

I said, “Yes yes, I do!”

Within seconds Lord Krishna and I were in the outer space and I saw the solar  system with the dazzling sun and the eight amazing planets. While travelling, I  saw a tiny planet which was very sad.

I asked, “Why are you so sad?”

Pluto

It answered, “I am Pluto, I am sad because I used to be a planet in the solar  system before. But now I am no longer a part of the solar system. Children like  you read about me as just a dwarf planet.”

“Oh! It is not a big problem. You can request Lord Krishna to solve your  problem because he is the mightiest of all,” I reassured Pluto.

But Pluto was still sobbing,” But the scientists who study about space at the International Astronomical Union, say I am dwarf planet because I don’t meet
all the three conditions that are needed to make one a planet.”

I said,” It doesn’t matter. You can still request the Lord to give you back your place. He can do it.”

Hearing our conversations, Krishna laughed gently and asked us to have  patience as all the mysteries of the universe are still not revealed to humans.

“Everything will be normal one day and Pluto would get its importance back. “

It  made Pluto very happy and I felt very happy and thanked Lord Krishna for his kindness. I prayed him to be with me always. At this point I woke up and  saw that I am sleeping on my bed and saw that the meeting with Lord Krishna, the travel to space and Pluto were all gone. I was very sad. But I hope to meet Krishna one day and have lots of more adventures together.
