Thinking like an astronomer, sentence 0
The Moon turns around its own axis exactly once while it goes around the Earth once, so it always keeps the same face towards us: walk around a chair while always facing it, and you will find you have turned around once yourself.
Who acts: Moon, you · What happens: turn, go, keep, walk, face, find · To what, where: own axis, Earth, same face, chair, face, yourself · Speech: someone speaks here
