Despite her protests that her Uncle Snoozabit should not be bothered the two boys go to the next room to see if he can help them with the plant. When they see him they find him looking through a telescope. The children forget about the plant and become curios about the telescope that Snoozabit has. He lets each of them take turns useing it and then tells them to wait until night so that they can see the stars through it. While it is her turn to look through the telescope Lillibit sees a shooting star. Willibit and Snagglebit also see the shooting star.
