Orion in the sky

A father and his little daughter, Katie, comes to the er. The father asks for a doctor to help his little daughter who has a spike of a wooden spear under her nail. Dr. Greene notices them, he hand shakes the father. He gets down to Katie who sits on a bench.

Dr. Greene: I like your outfit.
(Katie smiles; Dr. Greene looks at the wound)
Katie: It hurts
Dr. Greene: I know; I’ll be gentle.
Katie’s father: It’s up, under the nail, she didn’t even let me near it.
Dr. Greene: Can I look?
Katie: I don’t wanna a shot
Dr. Greene: No, no, no; No shots, I promise. Let’s play a game, close your eyes, ok?
Katie: Okay
(Dr. Greene reaches for tweezers from the table.)

Dr. Greene: What do you see?

Katie: The sky.
Dr. Greene: What’s up there?
Katie: Orion’s belt.
(Dr. Greene pauses for a second, he looks at her; and then he asks surprised)
Dr. Greene: Orion’s?

Katie: He couldn’t beat the scorpion, so he jumped into the sea.
Dr. Greene (surprisingly): Really?

Katie: Artemis put him in the sky where the scorpion never gets him.
(Dr. Greene looks stunned, he smiles astonished)
Dr. Greene: I didn’t know that.
(He gets the wooden spike from under her nail, he raises his head)
Dr. Greene: There. That didn’t hurt, did it?

Katie: Is it over?

(He thinks for a moment, and says smiling)
Dr. Greene: It’s all done. Thank you,
Katie.

“From day to day, my journey, the long pilgrimage before me. From night to night, my journey, the stories that will never be again. No day, no night, no moment can hold me back from trying. One flag, one fall, one falter, I’ll find my day maybe Far and away. One day, one night, one moment, with a dream to believe in. One step, one fall, one falter, find a new world across a wide ocean. This way became my journey, this day brings together, far and away…”
