Daniel, can Margaret
play with us?

- Sure! Oh! Want to see
the game I taught her?

- OK!
- Ready, Margaret?

- Yes.

come to me!

Not Dan Dan! Come to ME!
- No!

- Katerina, stop!

Margaret doesn't like that!

- Is everything OK over here?
- I... I... just wanted

Margaret to play with me.

Awww... You're so lucky

you have a baby sister
to play with you.

I wish I had a baby sister too.
(sad music)

(sighing)
- Hmm...

- I'm sad.

Yes, there are wonderful things
about having a baby sister,

but there are wonderful things

up close through a telescope,

Hmmm... Maybe someday,

I'll be an astronaut
so I can fly in a rocket ship

and see the moon up close.
