Cornelius' Star

There was a curious and smart scientist named Cornelius, he was so smart he was one of the empire famed scientist. He would watched the skies days and nights searching them for answer to his curiosity with the instrument he invented. His wife said, Dear why do you long for the sky? Why do you look in it for answer? Is it good to not nourish for Fame and foolish pride. He said, wife of my life, wife of my youth. We have no child, no legacy and where should what we leave go to? Whom will remember us? His wife held her frustration and continue doing as before. He said to himself, There's got to be something out there. Several years of my life cannot be wasted. Military gains come and may flee with witter and crafty devices. After awhile, He fell into a dawn rest dreaming about success then suddenly waking up, he look saying Right between the bosom of Andromeda, I see my bright star, my hope, and my legacy. I will be remember forever and my life will not go unnoticed. Then He rested and that morning, a soldier exclaimed a decree from the new emperor and Senate all funds must be repaid to finance the new war and all other expenditures will be reserved... all able men must serve. Cornelius responded, I have a message for the emperor and Senate. I found answers from the sky and his expenditures were not in vain. I believe we can use the stars to guide us in peace or war saving lives.The soldier responded, you will serve and tell your secrets or both you and your wife will work in slavery. Cornelius asked for time and the soldier promised to return within weeks. He sought the information about his findings to all he knew in the empire. And when the time came, he served in the military and his fame grew greatly that the emperor envied him and his pride cost his life. In his memory, his friends told his story as a foretell.
